What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Notanote is a free rhythm game praised for its fun gameplay, randomized key mechanics, and memorable soundtrack that players genuinely enjoy. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including data loss affecting saved files and progression bugs that can break the game, alongside extremely high difficulty spikes that frustrate many players. Most reviewers suggest trying it given the price is free, but be aware of the substantial bugs and prepare for a punishing difficulty curve.

I was on a mission to find a free rhythm game and found this gem. It's really fun and don't require certain key for you to press (random is the best decision). Fair warning though; this game is really flashy with colors and light, so if you're sensitive to flashing lights, I advise not to play.

All the songs and files saved on my and my friend's accounts have been wiped. Even though I backed them up to the cloud, the files are gone.
