While the art style of the game is very cute and well drawn and the lofi-like soundtrack is pleasant, I felt the rhythm games themselves are a bit lacking. Many feel same-y with the static gameplay, and the few that did switch things up just reminded me of what they could be doing. And for a game that is based in dreams, an abstract idea with so much potential for representing the human experience, it feels it chooses to play it safe with very grounded and realistic human experiences. Maybe this was the intent, but if so it still doesn't capture my attention with creative ideas. I might sound a bit harsh but the game IS still fairly enjoyable, it's not a bad experience. Just not one I think I'll remember or ruminate on about much afterwards. Decided to put the game down around night 4 due to boredom.
the visuals and the songs get me in a flow state haha, very chill game
A decent game for rhythm/music game fans. I truly love the design, colours, and vibe. There are also nice settings options, so you can personalize the game to your own preferences. When it comes to making your own levels, I think it’s a bit too confusing (at least for me). The only drawback is that the game is too short. Overall, it’s a good, cozy game, but definitely overpriced.
