Tap Music: Pop Music Game

This is your standard 4-key rhythm game. Nothing that sets it apart from other 4-key rhythm games but it's easy to just pick up and play. The charting is also good and it works well using your 2 thumbs instead of using 4 fingers. I do have a few problems with this, however. Something that annoys me is that the app expects you to full combo everything. Miss one note and you fail. From a gameplay standpoint, this can be very problematic in a rhythm game. Most rhythm games use a scoring system that gives you more points if you hit a note more accurately, and at the end of the song you get a grade based on the amount of points you have. Reaching a full combo in a song can be incredibly hard and is seen as mastery of that song. In this game, full combos are the standard, and your performance is instead graded by how far you could get through the song. Your score is based on survival instead of skill, and expecting perfection all the time with no room for mistakes isn't a very good practice for rhythm games. Please consider changing this. Let players play at their own skill level by allowing more misses. This means that a player can play a song repeatedly, constantly improving their high score, then they can try for a full combo when they feel ready. That would vastly improve the game.

Ok so this is a really solid 4key mobile rythym game. Feedback is good, controls are good, pretty good music selection, but I have a big problem with this game. I’m not gonna complain about ads too much since game needs money even though I hate how even if you die and don’t click the option to watch an ad, you still have to watch an ad, granted you can skip it. The main issue I have is that this game does something I’ve never EVER seen a mobile game do. Maybe I’ve just never played the right games and this is a common occurrence, but here’s the issue. So to start a song, and revive, you have to watch an ad right? That’s fine and dandy, but It will sometimes say “no ads available try again later”. So I did. And it still doesn’t work. I played this game on a 4 hour trip, and it wouldn’t “have ads” the whole time. I’ve NEVER seen a game that flat out REFUSED to let me play the game because it couldn’t work the ads correctly. And I don’t mind not being able to revive that much but you can’t start the songs unless you’ve seen an ad. I think that’s a really big flaw with the game that it requires an ad to play, and it can’t make it work. Oh and also I hate afk arena’s gift codes now but whatever.

I really love this game it’s one of the best rhythm games out there in the mobile category while I wait for Friday night Dublin mobile I’ve been playing in this app and I’m not gonna lie it’s super good the controls are amazing the game feels clean and fresh the only downside to all of this is that there are too many adds once you loose you wanna get back in to the song all hyped but then you have to sit thought a 20 second long add for no reason ik that’s the games way of making money but I feel like there could be another use for adds other than being annoying little stop signs after a game over also I wouldn’t mind the adds if they were actually good the adds I get are about teen pregnancy games and weird games where they mostly revolves of women getting there clothes taken off slowly but stopping just before a sensitive area and then saying to download the full game to continue I’ve seen a lot of Friday night funkin in my day and I know a fraction of the fan base are small kids under the age of 9 when kids see that fnf is involved in the game they instantly download and then if they loose they get to see these terrible adds about things they shouldn’t be seeing at an early age like theirs I’m 15 and even I still think the adds are mildly concerning on how they try to get you to get their game but overall the game is really great it just needs to be polished a few more times and lower the amount of adds in it
