Reviews
Absolutely nasty game! It feels like you're fighting the music, at first. But once you hit the groove and just start vibing, it turns into a meditative exercise that fully engages my audiophile brain. This game has already cemented itself as one of my go to's. Cannot wait for the full release.
In my opinion, there are great graphics for TD, nice soundtracks. It's nice to see different difficulties. I wish they had more work on the mechanics itself. 7/10

the mechanics of the game are not immediately clear, but how to figure it out is very addictive
So far I am having a blast! Usually I am trash at rhythm games-but am loving the Tower Defense spin on this one. Most of the music is catchy and fits the level design. Definitely recommend!
Big 2 thumbs up from me 👍👍
the game is cool, cool graphics, everything is just super, one question has just arisen: how to play?
Despite the early access, the gameplay looks pretty good/looking forward to the full version/ /but will we? How many games never make it out of early access...? we hope. we wait. we hope the developers do well.
I tried to take this game along with dlc music. And I was almost mistaken about it. I like all sorts of strategy games, but mostly I only play on my phone, now I have the same wonderful game with music
best music + tower defense = Bass Defense !!!
