Sonar Beat

[h1]***Many thanks go to Cold Dingo for proofing this review. Developed by [i]Life Zero[/i], [i]Sonar Beat [/i](SB) is a rhythm game themed on defeating enemy proclamations by discovering them on a radar wheel. Described below, SB has adequate soundtrack-stages consisting of intriguing melodies to prevent stagnation of even repeated sections. As per the usual with music-based titles it retains an accessible controls layout while being difficult to achieve complete proficiency. I feel I must state that I received [i]Sonar Beat[/i] through Curator Connect from the developer for review purposes.[/h1] Here are just a few items to consider: Gameplay – As can be expected control mapping is immensely simplistic, consisting of left- and right-clicking each prompt representing defeating antagonists that appear as blips on a radar. Cues may also have the player extend the note by holding the activated command, involve both left- and right-clicking to be used simultaneously, or a combination of the former two actions; these uncomplicated requirements evolve into intense player demand for accuracy. A special ability has been implemented when the player blunders an allotted number of prompts…

Later levels are barely playable. Whatever service the game uses for login seems to be down (probably their website), which also means three achievements are broken: checking the rankings, sharing your score, and obtaining all achievements. As a rhythm game it's very barebones. There are some nice parts to it, and after beating the game I sort of got used to it, but I wouldn't really recommend it. The calibration didn't help much and can't be adjusted manually. During play there is absolutely no indication of timing, so I don't know how to try to adjust the calibration, if that even is part of the problem. Hits just don't seem to register properly a lot of the time. Maybe because it's hard to follow what the notes are timed to. Maybe because of how the game prioritizes your input to targets that are closer to the middle (that's actually a good thing). Or maybe the timings are just weird and very strict. Most of the later levels have fast hits which are very hard with the one button setup (second button only does anything for simultaneous notes in multiple circles). It's also very hard to count them, so you'll just spam and hope you don't hit one too many and break your streak. Th…

A different way to play rythm games. The people how like rythm games will love it.

This is a very addictive and fun to play game, If you want to work onyour hand to eye coordination then give this game a go! Catchy beats, good learning curve and simple but challenging gameplay make this a lot of fun when you have a few minutes here and there.

A pretty little game with an interesting visual concept merged with the gameplay: it’s a rhythm game where the notes follow the circular shape of a radar, like a submarine. Thus, the notes appear in a circular order, less linear than in other rhythm games, a little bit like in the persona dancing games. However, in this game every note you fail keeps coming at the center of the radar, like an enemy that dodges your attacks (in fact, every note is really an “enemy” on the radar), and the game ends when one note/enemy reaches the core, in other words, your own ship.
