Just a simple music game, with an educational side effect.

Ratings and reviews

I like the idea, but yeah three problems: 1. on a phone, the screen is too small with this number of keys. 2. sliding a finger from one key to the next shouldn't hit both keys. 3. even in the first song, it offers no opportunity to learn how the notes correspond to the keys, meaning you just know how to play piano to see any benefit, but the marketing makes it sound like it teaches you.

If this is meant to teach people how to play piano, it's not doing a very good job of that. I already have a basic idea of what notes are what and where to find them on a keyboard, but any difficulty past practice mode is a pain. There's nothing to indicate tempo, but if you're just a millisecond late to hitting the first note, you get totally derailed and fail. There has to be at least a little bit of room for error. A beginner isn't going to start with robotic accuracy

It's a very raw experience, the difficulty levels are not well balanced and the game would benefit greatly from lessons or a tutorial. Also, a mode where you can customize your experience would be great to train for Master, since it jumps from having cues and tags on the note to no clues and no tags. The idea is solid, but it feels very amateur still.
