Forget mobile, All time Great

This is one of the greatest video games of all time. Period. I say this as a life long gamer who plays on PC and every console since 2000. This mobile port is perfection and the controls are intuitive and you simply get better and better the more you play. I can’t wait to try this in VR but if you enjoy gaming you owe it to yourself to try this absolute magnum opus of the medium. Massive kudos to the dev team.

Forced to buy – Apple Arcade Delist?

I love this game. Played it a TON on Switch, and when it hit Apple Arcade, it was a no-brainer to play with a Backbone controller. However, with no warning, Apple delisted the game. I can’t re-download Thumper+. So I bought this, which is essentially the same. I’m docking it 1-star, because when played on my Macbook, the screen is locked at 4:3, and can’t be scaled to widescreen. This is ridiculous, because the iPhone version is 16:9. All I’m asking for is screen ratio parity across platforms. Fix that, and you have a 5-star review from me, as I LOVE this game.

Great but not sensitive enough

When I have to smash my thumb and drag it halfway across the screen to register a move there’s an issue. At first I chalked it up to the game getting more intense and me just compensating but it’s really not possible. If the touch controls were more sensitive/responsive I would recommend this game for IOS.

My favorite rhythm game.. not such a great port

Everything about this is as exciting as it was when I first played on oculus quest. I finished it on there with an s on every level proudly. The thing that makes this almost unplayable to me is the lane changing. Tilt mechanic is impossible, as are the UI button alternatives. This NEEDS to be a swipe to be at all passable, if not taken out of the mobile version all together. It’s so frustrating to be handicapped by trying to tilt my phone at strange angles, and it either not registering or going too far. I don’t regret buying it just because I love the game but it just makes me sad that I can’t get past points that I breezed through on the quest :(

Swipe gesture misses every time

The swipe gesture takes longer to do than a tap (or button press on controller). Then, iOS has to recognize that what occurred was a swipe. As a result, any action that requires a swipe must be performed shortly before the beat, rather than on the beat. I played some turns with my eyes closed, aiming to swipe on the beat, and was late every single time. If you’re an experienced player of rhythm games, this issue makes the game literally unplayable.

Hey! I got problem.

So, I love the game and was playing recently, and I have found a glitch, this glitch goes like this, I play the first boss like where you have a hole bunch of shine yellow pads, on that part I went on infinitely. I just play for about 1hour and it never stopped, I had to restart my device and then it was back to normal. I would like this fixed pleasee. With all of that sumed I give this game 4/5

Probably just me but feels like game is really for younger folks with amazing reflexes. I’ve tried the 2nd boss after level ten, a hundred times and no luck. I even know the pattern but way too fast for me. Would have been fun to try next level but I give up. Luckily it was only $3. Hats off to whomever can finish this one

I adore this game

I’ve loved playing this game on the PlayStation (with and without the vr) and I didn’t even realize there was a pocket edition. When I searched it in the App Store I cannot express how excited I was to see it. I was curious how the controls would carry over but I think the developers did an excellent job with it! I’m so excited to be able to play more often especially when I’m not at home with my PlayStation. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a rhythm game, with extra points added for having enemies to face off against!

I really want to like this game

It’s wonderful, but there’s one issue with controls I cannot fix. After a turn, hitting a thump point is way too quick of a motion to handle. Tapping simply turns the beetle forward immediately after a turn, resulting in an unfairly missed point.

Console addition hooked me. Especially V.R.

The PS4 edition hooked me when I first played it an in VR the game is like 2 different worlds. Amazing game and incredibly well done. Simple concept no doubt but the rhythm violence is so intense. I’m sure with headphones and this version, there is a good amount of immersion.i love this game and hope to see some more games from this developer as they definitely knocked it our of the park with this one. One thing I have to ask for for this version though is to reverse the controls! It keeps messing with my head when I see to turn but its opposite than the right side. So to be able to switch controls would be awesome!! :)

Quite nice

This game, once it works, that is, is a rather fun game to play. While not my favourite game out there, it is a good way to enjoy fifteen minutes or so when you’re bored. What’s more, if there are any technical difficulties, the developers are kind enough to get in touch and do their best to sort out the problem (as it was done with me). In other words, the game is fun, the developers are nice. What more do you want, really?

Unfortunately ... Cannot Play Beyond 1 -

Anyway ... I DID contact the Developer and he was totally cool and helpful, but I think there’s a sensitivity issue with the touch screen hindering my movement. It’s a bummer ... because it seems like it would be very challenging, plus the music and the artwork are dope. The Developer recommended a Bluetooth game controller saying, ‘many have found it helpful’ ... so we’ll see if it changes my experience once I grab one. For now ... I can give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️ hope it jumps to FIVE soon!!

Even Newer Review

Well they’ve improved the daft tilt control with some more sensible buttons. The framerate and visual flair still causes issues while playing, causing you to mistime taps or simply not see obstacles. I’m improving my rating by one, it’s still not enjoyable to play and the soundtrack is so dull, pretty much the same 5 sounds on loop. I understand it’s supposed to be a cue for you to do a certain action but I’d rather just have varied sound and music and use visual cues to play instead. For a person who loves the rhythm action genre this is a miss, disappointing as I pre-ordered in high hopes. Someone port Frequency onto a phone and then we’re talking!

Gorgeous Game, Challenging Controls

I’ve purchased this game on both Windows and iOS and there’s nothing like it. Definitely a unique and one of a kind experience. Unfortunately, I’ve found the transition to the mobile version to be a bit more frustrating. The tilt controls feels completely off to me and the alternative controls often eat other inputs. Would love to see the lane changing taps to be assigned a specific area in the bottom corner of the screen as opposed to taking the entire left (or right) side of the screen. Another thing that I’ve noticed is that the UI buttons when not using tilt controls are displayed permanently on the screen and the overlay the info text in the top left making it impossible to read. This is likely a bug, but just wanted to mention it in case it wasn’t on the devs radar! All in all this is a wonderful experience like no other currently available. I hope that the devs will consider taking one more pass at the controls and see if there are further improvements that can be made.

Fun but frustrating tilting controls

This game for the first few levels is challenging but very fun and visually impressive. However once multiple lanes are introduced which requires tilting the phone, it becomes just pure frustration as for boss fights you have to be so precise about what lane you go in to progress. Now I’m really struggling and just getting annoyed with the game and this ridiculous control choice.

Not worth your money

Initially got the game for want of a challenging but fun game. After a while, I’ve learnt that this is a bad port. Numerous graphical glitches make your beetle not actually do what your actions/swipes dictate, and a very obviously poorly thought out input system sometimes requires extreme levels of dexterity. One example - the game sometimes requires quick successive taps that are neigh impossible with one hand, and touchscreens on iPad and iPhones will not have that kind of response/latency. Another example is when the game requires you to tilt the iPhone or iPad in order to switch lanes. The sensors on iPads and iPhones are simply nowhere near sensitive enough for you to consistently select a lane that isn’t on the side. In those situations, I resorted to simply repeating the sections over and over again, praying that one in 20 times I might be able to get past that section without dying. This makes the game simply appear to be a cash grab ported onto iOS to make people spend money on a game that was originally intended for a different platform. If you’d like to spend your money somewhere else, there are loads better designed and thought out games that warrant your time and attention.

Review on iPad Pro 10.5

The game is great but it’s not ideal to play on a big device like iPad Pro. I will only write some cons here but you should look at others’ review for the pros. Graphics: The resolution is not native so the graphics looks a bit blurry. The game does not seem to take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate of the iPad Pro. Controls: the tap and swipes are quite responsive. However the lane changing mechanic introduced at chapter 4 requires tilts. It is very difficult to tilt the iPad Pro precisely and this ruins my experience afterwards. For now I uninstalled the game and I’m looking forward to reinstalling it if these issue get addressed.

Best game on iOS

This is a must play for anyone who likes fast paced quick games. The controls are very well done for mobile. I’ve come back to play this three or four times, and am now aiming for s tier on all levels. Quick side note, I’ve noticed that after a few of the recent updates, I’m not getting the achievements in game center for s tier on level 1, 2, 3, and 4. I just beat level 5 today and checked to see the achievement, and noticed the other achievements have not registered, only the level 5 one.
