PARADE! - The Rhythm Battle

This game is an excellent little time waster. There are only three stages right now, but there are enough challenges/rewards within those stages to make you keep wanting to come back for more. You've gotta have some fast fingers to hit some of the patterns correctly. My only complaint is that I wish the rhythm patterns were always synced in time to the background music. Sometimes it can be difficult to follow when the patterns are totally off beat. Other than that, I love it!

This is a really fun and well made rhythm game. No ads at all unless you choose to watch them yourself. It is nice to see a game that isn’t completely taken over by ads. The camera angles are changed to intentionally block your view from time to time, this is to make the game more difficult in the harder difficulties and makes the game much more interesting. edit: When I tilt my phone sideways the score and boss health bar get in the way of the arrows and make them a bit harder to see. (iOS 11.3.1 on an iPhone 7) it would be nice to see them get just a little bit smaller so I can see the arrows well.

response required

The concept is interesting but isn’t executed well. Rhythm games can be fun and increased difficulty can really test your reaction time but this simply doesn’t make any sense. The ‘extreme’ difficulty adds obstructions and camera angles to block your view of the next note, which I get, but at times it doesn’t even give a preview of the note, it’s starts with an obstructed view and suddenly you’re missing notes without ever getting to see what the note was to begin with. The game would better suffice with a quicker tempo that relies more on reaction than what’s currently implemented. The frequent forced snapshots of the parade animals after you successfully complete a string of notes is also frustrating, why am I taking a picture of a dog for the third time in a row? Who cares? I’m here for the rhythm, not for the fake photos. Speaking of rhythm, my game was bugged with no sound. I checked the settings, in app and on my phone. I’m sure redownloading would correct this but I have no interest in playing this further.

I’m have a lot of fun with this game so far. It has a simple but addictive base concept. It’s art style is very cute, I love the low poly vibe. It kind of reminds me of the Katamari art which is wonderful. It doesn’t push ad banners or interstitials down your throat but gives you some good incentive to watch an ad here or there. My two suggestions if devs are reading this 1: There is a bug where sometimes no audio plays and I have to background the app and reopen to fix it 2: Fix the boss zoom in/out mechanic. Maybe give us an extra second after zoom in before the arrows start. While it’s by no means “unplayable” as some other reviewers have said, it does mess with your sense of timing and rhythm to have to be swiping as soon as you zoom in. Other than that keep up the good work and thanks!

Upon downloading "Parade" I found the game wonderfully simplistic. Tap on the signs, animals follow you, and the parade gets more elaborate. I played the game obsessively for the first 3 days until the nightmares started. Apparently a constant, unchanging, procedurely generated parade consisting of animals with 8-bit voices is my subconscious' idea of Hell. Add in a "tiger mom" style UFO that's always ready to demonstrate its disapproval at the slightest misstep, and you have the makings of every teenage overachiever's night terror. Needless to say...I've stopped playing.
