Cadence (2026)

Fun game

Really novel puzzle game. Fun!

Neat little puzzle game based around sound. Really enjoyed it and there was probably enough content for the price. Some interfaces were a bit out of sync (like an afterthought) and some things missing but it seems to be the first game from the developer. Also pruchased this to support a South African developer. Would also have appreciated Steam Deck support as it is a small game and would run well there, but you can't have everything.

It's been basically a decade since I last played Cadence. I'm very proud to see how far it's come. Better late than never! I had to configure the UI a bit for my big ass monitor but the settings were easy to find. There was also a minor issue where you can drag the map and mess up interacting with the tiles but I sorted it out so no biggie. For those wanting something chill to play between games where you've rage quit or waiting for friends this is great. I didn't feel like playing my fifth Soulslike right now and remembered I forgot to play this! D: I didn't realize it's also a therapy session where after solving each puzzle the cat with headphones, I'll call Caddie, gives you some advice. Caddie encourages you to take that step forward, failure is actually an option because the more you fail the more you learn until you succeed. Caddie is a sweet motivator, be like Caddie! The instructions so far are very simple. Click and drag your mouse across a tile to direct the music. Once it reaches Caddie and wakes them up you've solved it. The trickiness comes in loops and various mechanics such as hitting a tile with notes at the same time or having tiles be locked in a certain dire…

A great puzzle game. Fun, satisfying and relaxing!

Proudly South African, great puzzle game.
