The Best Game on the App Store
Sun Apr 07 2019 i just want this postedI’m not a very good player, but this game is still my favorite. The graphics are pleasing and the music is beautiful. Even when I’m doing horrible at the game itself, I still manage to feel more at peace, refreshed and happier in general after playing. I could play the same level 100 times and still feel entertained. There is quite a surprising amount of diversity in the game and many levels.
With that said, the ads were incredibly annoying in this game specifically. But I wasn’t bothered paying $5.99 to remove them. This is such a great app that I think it’s a catch it’s even free, so I feel justified in spending to remove the ads. There’s also a little bit of lag, but it doesn’t really bother me. The push to make players spend on packs and levels and coins is a little bit obnoxious however, and it’s my only genuine complaint. It’s annoying trying to figure out if you won something from the level and you’re getting it for free, or if clicking on it is going to ask for a password to charge your card or bring you to a 60 second ad.
The negatives don’t balance out the positives though — it’s a great game. I would be pleased to see an update to clear the confusion between messy advertisement of expensive skin packs and actual earnings from collecting diamonds or passing a level though. I’m genuinely happy with this app and feel grateful for how amazing it is now.
Really fun and addicting but to many ads.
Tue May 03 2022 PSS325So a couple years ago I started playing this game and forgot about it. I later remembered the game and decided to see if it had changed much and there where new levels but it was pretty similar. I enjoy this game a lot and it is very fun and addicting. If you’re looking for a little challenge this game has it. But my one problem is the ads. After almost every time you die there is a 30 second ad! There are ads everywhere and it makes the game feel boring and the ads really get annoying. Each ad drags on and they can happen with 30 seconds in between 2 of them because you died. The only way to get rid of the ads is by paying for a subscription that cost 8$ A WEEK! I don’t want to spend that much money on a game I pick up on my phone when I’m bored. Eventually I will probley stop paying this game again and forget about it so paying that much WEEKLY for an online game is not worth it. In total it ads of to about $32 a month and $384 a YEAR! This is way to expensive for a game that you do just for fun. The subscription just unlocks all the levels gives you unlimited revives and no ads. It’s not worth it! So ultimately having to deal with the ads gets annoying so I will probley quit this game eventually because I am getting tired of the ads. This game has more potential and I understand that’s how the developers make money but there are just too many ads!!!
Great, but could use some adjustments
Sun Feb 03 2019 Tmac TlexI’ve been playing this game for about two years and it’s an overall great game, although until recently, I’ve been having trouble with lag and loading. In the case of many levels, (the sailors tale, the spring festival, the chaos, the legend of assassin, etc.) I’ve found there to be problems with gameplay. I would highly suggest that you add more options in the settings, like disable shake. I understand that shake effects are incorporated to increase difficulty, though I’m a very skilled player and the shake just creates annoying and unstable gameplay. Another thing that would be sufficient would be the inclusion of ad personalization. I am a mobile player and I keep getting the same ads about Disneyland, Klondike, Wordscapes, Angry Birds, and it makes me outrageously irritated. I would also prefer there to be fewer 30 seconds and over ads. I feel as if they waste time that I could spend enjoying the game. About the ads again, whenever an ad is about to show up, the level that I’m on glitches, trying to load the ad, which turns out to have better quality than the game itself. Unlike many others, I know that you need the money from the ads, although I want it to be more fair, meaning that one ad doesn’t completely corrupt the screen. Those were all of my suggestions, and I hope that you have carefully read this and acknowledged my issues. The game is very good, but a few tweaks would make it almost perfect. Thank you.
Please remake this game in a better way
Fri Dec 23 2022 jfsin2017I have been playing this game since the pre-alpha days. Let me start off by saying that this game had so much potential but the developers got so greedy and money hungry that it went all downhill. Back when this game with first launched. There were 3 levels, and were much harder to complete you had to unlock each level by completing the previous level. When the beginning was removed and the piano was added that’s when it started to become a big hit on the App Store. back at this time there were no ads and you didn’t have to pay for anything. After more levels have been added over time we got another UI update. and that’s when things start to go downhill. When this whole you UI update happened the developers start putting ads in to the game and made you pay for a no ad an infinity cube bundle in 2018, they made the paths for all of the levels, much wider, which caused confusion for some new players, because they didn’t know where exactly to tap. Every time you fail, you have to watch an ad, every time you wanna play a new level you have to watch an ad. and then in 2020 a bunch of levels were removed and canceled and the game has stopped updating ever since. i’m really hoping someone out there can make a new dancing line with the old UI and no ads.
my favorite game!
Wed Mar 16 2022 golrahI remember I first downloaded this game in 7th grade, 2017, when it had first come out. I was immediately drawn in by it, and it seemed like the only game I could always play and never get tired of. Now I’m a senior in 2022, and this game has become my comfort game, I play it any time I feel anxious and it instantly makes me feel better. As a person interested in the arts as well as technology and graphic design, I was drawn in by how well the game was designed, whether it was each song and it’s graphics, the different tools used to play the level, the inclusion of helpful lines to know when to tap, or the wide selection of music genres. I have completed almost every song perfectly and finished all the challenges, and still participate in the weekly challenge to get notes. Every time I feel stressed, I just open the app and play “The Chinese Garden”, and every single time I am fascinated by the music, the graphics, and the hidden gem that can only be achieved by tapping the beats correctly. This game is a visual representation of the combination of the arts, computer science, and graphic design, all in one. I am truly blessed to have had the chance to find this game, and use it as an inspiration for my future. If ever I get the chance to communicate with the team behind making this game, it would be an honor!
Great, but glitches
Tue May 29 2018 RadomsTheRockshakerWhen I got the game, I loved all the new songs and menu design. However, it glitches so much! I was doing the beach song, which is the remix of the piano song, and the screen would freeze and then it would unfreeze and my dancing line would catapult and send me off track, and there is nothing I can do about it. Also, the winter song has random blocks appear, which is not the glitch. It’s the fact that the screen freezes and I freezes but the dancing line is way ahead of the game so you don’t know where the blocks are going to appear and they only appear behind you, so you just crash instantly. No, my phone is not responsible for the glitching because I never experienced it before, only on this game. Now I feel bad talking trash about the game and it’s glitching, but it needs to change. It will make my day if there and update saying general bug fixes because right now it’s ridiculous. Lastly, the adds are annoying too, but not as much as the glitches. All in all, I know I talked trash about the game but it is still a very great game and the music is phenomenal. It is very addicting and deserves some praise. I’m still keeping the game but please fix the glitches! If you are trying to decide to download it and you are reading this, don’t think I made it sound horrible, because it is not! Give it a shot and you will love it! #nohate #lovethisgame #fixtheglitches
You were on a roll
Mon Oct 16 2017 Jnuck83OK so I have been every single level in this game except for the new level“All about us“. I love this game in the sense that is addicting, but also very simple and not hard to understand. I feel like you guys were on a Roll with all the levels until you made the sailors tail. The sailors tail is a nice level but you left a lot of blank spaces and the level could’ve been much nicer if you would’ve just waited a week or two to release it and added a lot more smaller details on the sides and places like that. Every single section of a level was unique before a sailors tail. You never just use the same theme or colors or anything like that for a section of a level. I feel like the Crystal was your best level. It was totally unique, it never repeated itself, and was a beautiful level overall. The new level all about us is really bad and doesn’t stick to the music and you can tell that it was lazily made. It’s good that you used a song with words, but I think everything a one of your OG fans love the original instrumental soundtracks. I feel like when you started this game it was beautiful and we’re just doing it because you loved it. Seems like you’re just doing it for the money now. The level of ad you have to watch just play the game is ridiculous. Everyone loved the simplicity of the old menu design and I really wish that you could change it back. I love this game and I’m going to keep playing it, but you need to get back to basics
great game but too money hungry
Fri Dec 20 2019 chico_dusty40a few years ago i would have rated this app 5 stars. it’s great, addicting, fun, & keeps you interested. but over the years the developers have become too money hungry.. ads are literally everywhere & they load the screens with more adds to make you buy things from them.. lets start with revivals or “boxes”. you NEED them to even play the game. you get 15 boxes/ revivals for free. after that you either have to pay real money or watch long ads to get more. they at least used to have an option where you could buy unlimited revivals for 24 hours for 99¢. now it’s 50 revivals for 99¢. then you have the themed levels. it used to be that some were free but as you pass them, you use gold that you earn in the game from completing one level to save & pay for another level..you used to have to save a couple hundred gold you earned to unlock a level. now it’s high hundreds to thousands of gold & now they give you less gold when you pass levels, so new levels are hard to unlock.. but wait theres more. now you have to earn points from completing challenges to even be ALLOWED to use the gold YOU EARNED to unlock a level. otherwise you have to watch ads to do a trial run of the level or buy the level with REAL MONEY for 3.99+. it’s actually ridiculous the ways they try to force you to spend money. i understand they have to make money cause it’s a free game but they are making it unenjoyable with their greed.
