Rotaeno

Fell in love with this game. The notes perfectly fit the song, and its just so satisfying to play. I was nervous at first because you only use your thumbs to play, and that it costs money when most games don’t, but its so worth it. The simple gameplay is refreshing and fun, and the payment of only three dollars means no ads and no subscriptions! A breath of fresh air when every app ever uses subscription service. Would absolutely recommend this game!

Rotaeno is one of the only games I’ve played which feels like it was designed for a smartphone first and foremost. The motion controls are incredibly precise, and gameplay feels superb! But the real praise to be given is that the game is monetized incredibly fairly. You pay money for songs, and there’s zero gacha mechanics. You always feel like you’re getting value for money entered, and the game never feels like it’s trying to nickel and dime you. The developers are awesome and actively put in effort to make charts that people are excited to play. I can’t wait to see where they take the game next!

Everything about Rotaeno has blew me away, from the game mechanics to the story! But, there is one thing that I may be picky about. I'm not sure if this is just an iPhone 13 thing, but the game audio quality, especially for songs, is noticeably worse on IOS devices than on non-IOS devices. I've noticed that non-IOS devices present crisp and clear audio, while IOS devices have this low quality and compressed feel to the game. So, if there is a way to fix this problem, hopefully it gets fixed soon, before it becomes a bigger problem in the future. The game audio is the one thing that's stopping me from calling Rotaeno "perfect."
