About Beat the Song
You are the one playing
Music at half the volume is playing in the background with different missing instruments. You are in charge of these. If you hit the falling icons at the right time by pressing the right keys, the missing instrument will play. This way you play the song and compose it to its original state.
You are the one spoiling it
If you skip some icons or play them too early or too late, you will play these instruments at the wrong time or not at all and the result will be a mess. Not to mention you probably won’t get to the end this way and will lose the game.
You are the one who is god
If you persist and take a while to learn the songs, you will get better. You will find that the feeling from playing them is EPIC! In a real band, you would usually play just one instrument and you would have to spend years learning it. In Beat the Song you only have to learn for a few hours (yes, it will seem difficult at first, if you’ve never played a similar game) and you will find that you can “play” any instrument and a different one at any moment! It’s an incredible feeling that you have to experience yourself.
You are the one who will discover the beauty of music
Should you hear the songs from this game on radio or play them on the internet, you would probably pass them without noticing. As with 99% of the others. But now that you have the option to “play” them, you will discover their spirit, uncover the sounds you would otherwise miss and find that they are beautiful.
You are the one who won’t be understood
When you show the game to somebody or if they watch you playing, then in most cases they won’t get what is going on and what’s so great about it. Maybe it can’t even be described. You have to learn it and play.
Difficulty
Does the game seem too hard? Try different songs at easy difficulty. Even that is sometimes a bit easier or harder. The right feeling comes with medium difficulty and up.
Full length songs
Most of the songs are unabridged. You have heard it - “it should be shortened to not be boring, the right song must have such and such length”... No. Why shorten a great experience? Yes, it would be a lot less work to just use shortened versions, but surprisingly with full unabridged songs you won’t get bored and won’t even notice that instead of 30 seconds you play 5 minutes.

Perfect game to relax. I recommend.1 found this helpful
Your actually ARE playing the song in this game. At first You will hate it, its difficult and songs screwed by you are garbage. BUT wait until you master your first song!! Trashy song is pretty neat suddenly. This game will reward AND punish you for all you do. Recommended1 found this helpful
Great game to take break from study, or to crush keyboard, depending on difficulty. It's like 2D Beat saber, or Osu!, but every mistake makes actual tone shifted. You want to rerun songs again and again to play them perfectly, because then it will feel soo much good to you when it all sits together. When you want to go all in, you can move on to medium and hard difficulty, but those are not for me.1 found this helpful
Funny game, I have really enjoyed this. Looking forward for more games from you. Thumb up!1 found this helpful
Really poorly made rhythm game. Super tiny note lanes and notes making it really hard to see. It also doesn't let you pick between amount of keys, so each song just made for one set amount of keys. The game just blanks out the lanes that aren't used, meaning the key set up depending on the song would technically need to be different for me to feel comfortable, but you cannot set it up per amount of lanes the song uses either which is a pain and it also doesn't tell you beforehand how many keys a song will be in. Also no real feedback from actually hitting the note either. Very unsatisfying and the songs aren't that great either. There's a dozen rhythm games better than this, and even free ones too. The game honestly feels like a quick money grab scheme for the price it sells for and the low effort that seems to have been put into it. I am refunding.
Beat the song je zajímavá chytlavá hra, která určitě zabaví. Doporučuju.
