What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Lily is a beautiful, zen-like musical sandbox that prioritizes aesthetics and relaxation over ambitious composition, making it ideal for casual play and introducing children to basic music concepts. Players praise its stunning visuals and calming experience, but note significant limitations including a small number of instruments, clunky sequencing mechanics, and technical issues like poor Windows 11 compatibility that frustrate more serious creators. While the simple controls are easy to learn, the restricted creative toolset and missing quality-of-life features like copy-paste functionality
Less of a game and more of a digital toy, [b]Lily[/b] deserves honorable mention. Imagine instruments replaced by flowers, and musical notes replaced by petals. Flowers by themselves are limited to 8 notes, but can be used to loop melodies and can be programmed to play in sequence for advanced compositions. The only demerit is the limited number of flowers available (15) and 7 scales to choose from. This might restrict the more ambitious creators from faithfully reenacting the classics. Great for school-age children, but maybe a little advanced for all but gifted preschoolers. You can also find it on app stores, where it is fully optimized for touch controls.17 found this helpful
OK so. If you're looking for a powerful sequencer, this is not the program your looking for, very few instruments, and a rather cluncky way of setting it up with all the extra pads and links you have to do. But if you just want a hella pretty looking and sounding game to just mess around with to show basic music stuff. I can no recommend this more, it is so beautiful and what little sounds are there are just amazing.3 found this helpful
Double edit: I solved the issue of it constantly booting as a background process, albeit as a bandaid fix; It's not compatible with Windows 11. And that's a serious shame because i finally got to play it on my other hard drive, and it is a very zen experience. Finally, a happy end to a bitter story, but i still seriously wish this game got an update for windows 11. I heavily endorse games like this, that allow you to sandbox however you like, to not care about the big picture, a place where you can dedicate yourself to your action, and benefit with gaining music and sequencer experience through doing. Controls are fairly janky and unintuitive, but there's so few controls it's super easy to learn the ins and outs of the program, even without the tutorials2 found this helpful
