+7
- The game offers a polished and immersive experience with multiple percussion instruments, including marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, bells, and steel pan, making percussion more accessible.
- Features like velocity-based loudness, different mallet types, sheet music importing, metronome, and 4-mallet support provide useful tools for practice and recording projects.
- Adjustable instrument height, no sound delay, and analogue mallet spread control add to the gameplay quality and accessibility.
- Hit detection is inconsistent and clunky, with issues such as mallets passing through keys, no physics-based collisions, and strange hitboxes that affect playability and realism.
- Latency and audio issues, including broken or improper glissando functionality, negatively impact the playing experience and timing.
- Lack of features like multiple 4-mallet grip options, interval locking, instrument scaling, mallet positioning adjustments, and multiplayer mode limit the game's full potential.

Users appreciate the inclusion of sheet music and a metronome, praising the app's sophistication and responsiveness. However, many note limitations with four-mallet support and suggest improvements like larger or PDF-importable sheet music displays to enhance the playing experience. Overall, the music features are seen as a strong foundation with room for growth.
“The inclusion of features for sheet music and a metronome is a really nice touch.”
“I appreciate there being a marimba app sophisticated enough to have sheet music importing and a metronome.”
“This looks like a great substitute; a way to import sheet music would be awesome, possibly on a virtual whiteboard or back wall for readability.”
“I do appreciate there being a marimba app that's sophisticated enough to have sheet music importing and a metronome; however, as a percussion player who plays many four-mallet parts, trying to hold the trigger light enough to hold the correct interval is impossible.”
“Four mallet support is definitely a nice-to-have (and I have plenty of ideas on how that could work), as well as importing sheet music, but these I feel are secondary to a satisfying playing experience.”
“Another thing that would bring this from kind of useful to extremely useful is the ability to import sheet music from a PDF to be able to read it in-game while playing.”
