Ratings and reviews

Two major issues. The first is that this game doesn't work well on mobile. You can't move the buttons around, so actual gameplay feels terrible. The second issue is clarity. I have a giant cellphone but somehow they made it incredibly difficult to see what is happening. It makes timing button presses a guessing game. Honestly, this one is embarrassing for Riot. Maybe future updates will save this game. It probably won't, though, because it is still a Netflix exclusive.

The mechanics, graphics, and voice acting are great, but the controls are horrible. One requires my hand to block some of the action and another gets completely blocked by the "Perfect!" Image on the right. Better controls or the ability to edit them would improve the gameplay for me.

Whose idea it was to punish even minor errors with a full stop of the music?? IN A RHYTHM GAME! it's very frustrating when you are getting in the zone, feeling the rhythm, enjoying the music, and then a single minor error and the game takes you off the music to show an animation. This doesn't even correlate with the severity of the mistake. You can miss beats with no problem, but if you rush a 1/16 of a beat in the wrong place, you get a full stop of the music. Such a basic design flaw.
