About The Violinist

Step into the shoes of a talented violinist and overcome different levels with classical music from various authors and composers, from the Baroque era to the Romantic era.

The Violinist offers players the option to press buttons to the musical rhythm of the song they choose. The notes fall vertically and the player must press at the right moment to get a score. The more precise they are, the more points they earn. There is also the option to play Quicktime events as mini-games in which you must tune your violin to increase the final score of the song.

Each time the player successfully completes a song, they are rewarded with in-game money that can be used to purchase new scenarios and new violins. Each violin is special and will help you in different ways in the game, from modifying the precision of the buttons to increasing the final earnings.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's focus on classical violin music as a refreshing alternative to typical rhythm games, with some finding it engaging and entertaining. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including bugs that reset scores, broken key remapping that doesn't match violin fingering patterns, poor visibility due to tiny notes on a cramped playfield with excessive UI clutter, lack of audio feedback when hitting notes, and an unpopular tuning minigame that feels unnecessary and detracts from the experience.

As a violinist, this game is a welcome find! It is a little rough. A few bugs here and there, but I felt so seen and heard playing this game. None of that cheap-ass Guitar Hero shenanigans. No, no. Only the finest classical compositions here! Note: I don't hate Guitar Hero. I just wanna virtually shred to Vivaldi sometimes.

I really wanted this game to be fun as I play violin as a hobby. Rhythm games aren't hard to find anywhere, but this was the first violin based rhythm game I had ever seen and was pretty excited about it. Unfortunately it really let me down. [b]Kinda long review down here[/b] First of all, I want to address some bugs: [list] [*]As of now whenever you reopen the game all your scores on every song are reset. You keep your money and anything bought, thank goodness, but it is kind of annoying to lose score progress. I like to play in little spurts, so I want to remember what I played and what pieces I still need to work on. [*]I don't know if this is intentional, but if you don't go all the way back to main menu after a song, you don't get to retry the tuning minigame. You can say you want to do it, but it just gives you the score bonus you got last time you did it. [*]I'm unsure if it was all the time, but after playing one song and, again, not backing out to the main menu, every song I'd play would show as giving me the exact same amount of money as the last song. And would get that amount of money. That means I could struggle through a semi hard piece and get like 700$ then back o…

My biggest issue with the game is the ASDF controls by default. I expect to go UP in pitch when I hit my keys in fdsa order (like a violinist typically does). instead, the lower note is played on A and goes up to F. So the natural thing to do is to change the keyboard controls to change what would be normal right? well, bugs strike and you are unable to change keys to match what you are wanting. Refunding until the tiny white dots are fixed, the keymapping works properly, and i'm able to play this game more like a violinist and less like a piano.

I do not like the different colors per lane, and then the tiny af white balls coming in, on a slanted way too small area even. It makes the visibility and thus readability really horrible. Please add more customization options to how it can look. One of the biggest gripes I personally have when it comes down to rhythm games it when it's needlessly difficult due to poor visibility. I don't know why so many have this. It's not a fun challenge. It's bad. Challenge should lie in cool patterns that still align well with the music. Not this. You need to be able to see well what you gotta do. I for one have never seen a performer use music sheets with faded ink that is hard to even discern because it's more fun that way. It's just ridiculous. Skill isn't about being able to deal with poor circumstances like that. Nobody plays tennis with a broken racket either because oh that makes it more challenging. The challenge should lie in the gameplay. Not the fact I am giving myself a migraine trying to see the notes. Game has something to change input in case it lags, but it doesn't help you set it up making it useless. I hate when rhythm games do this. I don't know how your game reacts to m…

really bad game. there's so much about this game that is really awful but i'm gonna try to list everything anyways. basically no feedback when hitting notes. zero hit sounds. the most you get is a little sparkle and a rating will pop up depending on your timing. slide notes basically have zero visual feedback. about 80 percent of the screen is filled with useless ♥♥♥♥ and the note lane takes up a tiny fraction of the screen. the tuning minigame is the stupidest gimmick ever and after doing it once i skipped it after every song i did. it adds basically nothing and is not fun in the slightest. tons of ♥♥♥♥ isn't playable or maybe it is but i really don't know and couldn't tell what has or hasn't been implemented yet. pretty sure a lot of stuff isn't implemented yet though. specifically the "violin" mode, in the violin game. the one where you play the violin if that wasn't obvious btw. definitely getting a refund cause this game is dog crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
