The verdict
A brutally hard one-button rhythm platformer with great music and a huge library of community levels. Skip it if you rage easily or are uneasy about reported moderation and child-safety problems.
Great for
Players who love punishing retry-until-you-win challenges, great music and community-made levels
Main risk
Rage-inducing, time-eating difficulty plus account/save problems and the dev's moderation controversy
What changed in the last 30 days
175 recent reviews
Many recent negative reviews from long-time players cite the developer cutting half the moderation team and alleged grooming/child-safety neglect. Several mention a login/account problem. Fairly consistent across many reviewers.
