What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Winken is a music learning rhythm game that players praise for its effective training system with adjustable difficulty, MIDI keyboard support, and the standout feature of uploading custom songs to practice with. The gameplay successfully teaches music sheet reading and note recognition in an engaging way, with a solid scoring system and support for multiple octaves. The main complaint is that the user interface can be confusing initially, though players note this becomes manageable once learned, and most feel it's a worthwhile purchase for music enthusiasts and beginners alike.
[hr][/hr] [h1][b]Pros:[/b][/h1] [hr][/hr] [h1] [/h1] [h2]Good Training Options[/h2] This game surprisingly works well with easier difficulties due to the fact that the melody is simplified on lower difficulties. It also allows players to transition into sharps or flats by not enforcing it. The level system also allows players to practice specific sections of the song. [h2]Supports MIDI input[/h2] As stated in the description, it supports MIDI input which is really good for players who own a MIDI keyboard. I've also noticed that the game support playing in different octaves rather than only supporting one octave. There's no advantage to playing in the correct octave as the gameplay only cares about the note but it's still a nice feature. [h2]Custom Music[/h2] It's nice that you're able to import custom music. It does seem a bit buggy as no audio was playing (I used a WAV file) and it also doesn't support playing 2 or more notes at once. It does have the potential to become a great feature though! [hr][/hr] [h1][b]Cons:[/b][/h1] [hr][/hr] [h2]No Offset Setting[/h2] This game really needs an offset setting.

Very nice music game! I'm not a music player and it clearly gave me the feeling of learning and managing to play the piano step by step with my keyboard. The game also allows you to upload any song you find and it will create its partition to play. I was quite impressed by this feature, with that you can be sure to play with the songs you like!3 found this helpful
Great game for learning new song and your music reading skill ! As a piano player, I’ve always struggle at the starting process of learning a new song, reading the music sheet is always a part I didn’t like… I really like the fact that you can add your own sheet music to this game ! It ease up the process of learning the beginning without shortcuts just more fun ^^ Reading through a part while hearing the result is really a good feeling ! Also enjoyed the general feeling of the game the scoring system has a good feel to it ! If your are looking for a new kind of music game while learning a bit of music I easily recommend this one !3 found this helpful
Winken: Fun Way to Learn Music! Winken is a rhythm game that helps you learn to read music sheets and figure out notes. The learning curve is just right—not too hard, not too easy. It's perfect for both beginners and those who already know a thing or two about music. The gameplay is super fun! You can even use a keyboard to play along, which makes it feel like you're really jamming. One of the coolest features is that you can add your own music to the game. This means you can practice with your favorite songs, which is a huge plus. The only downside is the user interface. It's a bit strong and can be confusing at first. But once you get the hang of it, it's not a big deal. Overall, Winken is a great game for anyone who loves music or rhythm games. It's educational and fun at the same time. Definitely worth checking out!2 found this helpful
