Melody Ball

Hello! I’d like to share some constructive feedback I genuinely mean no offense or negativity. The core concept of the game is promising and definitely has potential. However, I feel that certain aspects of the execution could be improved. At first, I thought the early part of the game felt a bit rushed, but I expected things to develop more as I progressed unfortunately, that didn’t quite happen. Some music choices stood out in a positive way, such as in the pirate-themed map or the one with the pulsing heart, which I really appreciated. But overall, I felt the backgrounds were a bit too static and didn’t contribute much to the atmosphere, and many of the music tracks felt too similar which made them come across as a bit repetitive. I also noticed some syncing issues in certain maps, the beats didn’t always align well with the inputs, or there were long sequences of notes that didn’t seem to follow the rhythm, which made those sections confusing. The difficulty levels also felt inconsistent some maps were very easy, while others were suddenly much harder. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the order of difficulty was a bit jarring. Regarding the map creation system, I think i…

Cute design and has the bones to be something, however, there are frame drops/pauses that are honestly frustrating. The game also features out of sync rhythm; the notes aren’t placed in any musical rhythm and are more placed in random pattern sequences, which makes the game feel more like a "hit the target" game rather than a rythm one. Not having the notes placed in rythm makes completing each level more challenging than it needs to be. The lack of "lives" is also very frustrating, especially since the music throws you off more than helps. The music does not have a rhythm that is easy to follow, and I personally found it easier to play when I completely turned the volume off.. Which says all you need to know.

[h2] Ellietendo's Review Of Melody Ball [/h2] [u] I received a free copy of this game for review purposes. I used a mouse & keyboard combo for gameplay. [/u] [h3] Pros: [/h3] [list] [*] Pretty Visuals - The visuals on “Melody Ball” are incredibly relaxing and very appropriate for a rhythm game. I enjoy watching the patterns and backgrounds as I play along. [*] Customization - I do love the customization of the rhythm tracker; it really brings a fresh element. The fact that there are also power-ups as well (i.e. being able to view the next few notes) really helps when confronting a tricky song. [/list] [h3] Cons: [/h3] [list] [*] Frame Drops – One thing I did notice, which is a bit of a huge problem, is that the game would have very sudden frame drops. Now, for most games, this isn't a big deal. However, in rhythm games, it can be the difference between achieving a perfect score and failing the level completely. [*] Out Of Sync Rhythm – one other thing that also bothered me is that the “Notes” aren’t placed in a musical rhythm (as in fitting with the music), but rather a random pattern or sequence. This makes completing each level much more challenging than it ne…

Artwork is cute, but the chart design is often questionable. For many of the songs, it did not sound like the rhythm of the chart followed the rhythm of the song, with just random 8th note streams that don't correspond to anything rhythmically or melodically in the song. For fans of rhythm games, I'd recommend getting Quaver instead for a more solid rhythm game experience, or perhaps Tadpole Treble if you're looking for cute artwork.

Great game and time killer definitely can't wait to see what the community will come up with since its like geometry dash. Default music was good and the gameplay is fun and easy to get used to may even start using it as a league of legends or valorant warmup for my fingers. Keep up the great work!!!!

Chill rhythm game! You control a customizable ball (fluffy, fruit, heart, etc.) and jump from circle to circle on beat. The visuals are simple but cute. You can customize the ball + use a level editor to make your own levels. It's a cute and enjoyable game that does what it sets out to do. The overall design feels a bit like a children's book—charming but somewhat rough around the edges. It’s not the most polished experience, but for the price, it offers solid value with multiple levels and some light customisation (like extra lives or visibility boosts). If you enjoy simple rhythm-based challenges with a playful vibe, it’s worth checking out.
