The first several songs are good fun to play but then the difficulty wall chunks itself into place and instead of playing the music you end up flailing away, hoping to clear away as many outer notes as possible while guarding the center ring against the advancing missed ones. You can survive that way, but it’s not particularly musical, and that’s a problem for a music-rhythm game.

Sonar Beat tries something new with the rhythm game genre, but the small tracklist and spartan stylings do not leave a lasting impression. When paired with its somewhat buggy nature, you have yourself a project that could have used more time in development.

Unique and original gameplay feel with a nice and relaxing OST. Sometimes hard and confusing but the more you play the better you get at it. Besides, it allows you to compare yourself with others throught a pretty complete leaderboard system. really enjoy that!

Sonar Beat rewards each game. You are always improving and that makes the game so addictive.

I must say I am enjoying my time with Sonar Beat. Sure, it's not a high-end indie game, but it is fun and its gameplay mechanics are fresh and unique for a musical game. Also, I really like the visual style and how it uses the radar theme with beautiful and appealing effects. The music is also nice and I already have a couple of songs stuck in my head. Overall, it's a nice little game that's well worth its price point. I'd recommend giving it a shot.

OK, this is not the best music game ever but have some fresh ideas and you can trust me: It is as difficult as it is addictive. Of course it only cost 2 bucks so let's go

I like that they made their own OST and that its gameplay is unique but sometimes it gets crazy and confusing. But hey, its 2$ and looks pretty
