Lots of Minors

"Minor Scale" is just like it says on the box, a hybrid tower defense and Dance Dance Revolution game. What do you do in the game? Experience the worst aspects of both TD games and Guitar Hero at the same time. A lot of amateur developers decide the most original thing any developer could possibly do is bolt Guitar Hero rhythm mechanics onto any other game and that will somehow make a perfectly good game format somehow better. While every amateur developer gleefully boasts this is the first time it has ever been done, every time it has been done before has been a complete disaster. So, too, is "Minor Scale". There's a backdrop "bug" theme that doesn't add anything new to TD games, and works even worse with the Guitar Hero mechanics, so that's a real missed shot. While I couldn't find this on the mobile app stores, everything about it looks and feels like it's a mobile app designed for mobile phones... for PC gaming enthusiasts, it's not going to give you a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That alone is enough to disqualify this from any recommendation. We don't spend thousands building gaming rigs so that we can pretend they're iPhones and play iPhone games and mobile …

The Idea of playing music to kill enemies is great. I firstly thought the instrument was only for like a minigame but then I realized it's purpose. I don't know if it just me but I couldn't beat the 2nd level with anything else than the easiest difficulty. Improvable but not so great rn.

This game has such a vibe and I love it but I completed in 22 mins. Wondering if there is more to come or a second game which is bigger. It has potential <3

Very short, technically no end when I finish the 3 levels. Very easy, with the last difficulty suddenly doing a bit of a drop in difficulty and relying on a lot of luck to get through? It is the same rhythm for every single level. Its cute though, 5/10
