“This game is amazing for people who both like music, rhythm, and trippy visuals.”
“The music and effects are well chosen, and are definitely worth the difficulty of getting a C rank on the previous level to experience.”
“I'm still trying to beat the third song, but the first time I played it, I couldn't help but smile ridiculously because this music and these colors made me so happy.”
“Most rhythm games on Steam these days don't actually require you to do anything in time to the music - like Audiosurf or all the twin-stick shooters, they just have music as a focal point.”
“The further you get into the songs that the game provides, the more it controls you.”
“There are only three songs at the moment, and once you're done with them, you'll be craving for more.”
