Frqncy Reviews

Okay. I don't usually write reviews for games, and when I do I spend a pretty hefty amount of time with them. But this? This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. This game isn't that good. It sounds okay in paper, but it fails dramatically in execution. The score system is confusing, the game goes so fast that you can't react to anything (slo-mo doesn't help) or it goes so slow that you get bored. The amount of blocks spawned is ludicrous, even for hard rythm games. I can barely see the very transparent powerups in a sea of blocks that spawn out of nowhere. That bar up there? It's an ammunition bar and not a cooldown bar like I assumed it was. Why not an ammo counter? Why a bar? The worst part is the song indexing. You need to put your local songs into a specific folder in the local files for the game to index them and let you play them. Rythm Rush did the same but that game at least has the decency to easily link you to the correct directory. This one has nothing saying where to go or what to do for local song indexing. I didn't try the streaming feature, but it sounds like an okay alternative. Overall, I can say that this is the first musical generation game that I disliked. Please buy something else with your money.

No offense, but this game turn Music Racer, AudioSurf, riff racer into trash!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: Can't be play anymore, got fatal error every time I tried to play a song.

Well, my first impression of this game was that I didn’t like it. The graphics/instructions at the start look a little “yikes” to me, but I thought, hey, I like the concept of the game, perhaps I can look past me being picky about the graphics. I read through the instructions, and when it comes to these games, the only thing I am usually interested in is the feature to use your own music. So in the sense of the provided music, I’m afraid I have no idea if it’s any good. I was, however, a tiny bit impressed with the way this game lets you use your own music. Not so much because it’s amazing or anything but rather just something a bit different. It opens up possibility to use a lot more platforms with this game. In the “Stream” section, you can create a play session, then outside of the game you play your own music on whichever platform you want. I used Google Play and YouTube to test it a little and both worked fine. You then go back into the game with music playing and press play on the play session you created. I’ve never played a music-based game that works like this, and honestly, it’s a bit strange, but I still prefer this method than actually having to have a local copy of your music to direct the game to. At first I tried quite hard to play it properly. I found the controls difficult, the game was too fast and too busy despite me trying both fast/slower songs and I was generally just getting annoyed. I was about 95% sure I wasn’t going to recommend the game. I mean, it’s so cheap, what did I expect for my money? But again, I like the concept of this game. It’s like “1…2…3...Kick it!” If “Kick it!” was changed slightly and wasn’t absolute poo. So I thought I’d stick with it and try some different music. I put a playlist on of songs I like singing too because I’m sad like that and once I stopped caring, stopped trying so hard, I actually started to enjoy the game. Yeah, I die every 30 seconds, but I’m more focused on the music and having a chill little sing-song than I am on the game. After I noticed I’d ended up playing the game I thought initially was garbage for a fair while, I realised that for me this is just a very “chill out and only half pay attention” kind of game, rather than a “super serious, concentrate real hard” type. I suppose most games of this genre do fall into the kind where you usually have to concentrate a fair bit and really try to stay focused, so I defaulted to that and it didn’t work. If you buy this and feel the same, perhaps try to let go a bit. I came around to it in the end and if you’re a fan of the genre, why not? It’s cheap and cheerful. I also figured out right at the end of my play session that you can change the speed of the game at the bottom on the screen, so if you’re dying constantly like I was just slow it down a wee bit. Way too long story short, I thought I didn’t like it and it turned out I do. Ground breaking stuff, I know. TL;DR : It was a bit annoying for me if I tried too hard, I feel like this is a game you need to let go. It’s a chill half-paying-attention type game not a super serious try really hard type of game. Give it a chance; it’s worth the little money its price tagged at. A nice little music-based game you can use your own music in the background to influence.

Edited my review. Not recommended. This game is broke AF. The beat detection is bugged, .4x speed yet I can't see anything but blocks. Obviously bugged and not features. This is abandoned so no way to be fixed, so not recommended. Has potential but it seems this is abandoned,
