Cadence

It's kinda a rhythm game but not really. Grid based game where goal is to create a self sustaining loop in a network to deliver music to a cat. Love the minimalist art style. Unique puzzle mechanic that I haven't played at least. Anyway, stop reading this review and give the game a try.

Beautifully made game that had me scratching my head at time (ok so 2 levels had me crashing out completely) but I really enjoyed it. I finished the levels (not including hard levels) in about 4 hours. The music was beautiful, the messages for each level nearly had me in tears sometimes because they were so sweet and genuine, and the clean aesthetic worked well for the game. I would love a dark mode or at least a way to reduce the brightness of the background. I didn't dive into the building section, or the community maps, but these features are so incredibly cool to have!! Definitely going to be having a dive into that at some point <3 A lot of love and care has clearly gone into the game and I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone who enjoys interesting challenges.

Très clairement un jeu intimiste pour l'auteur qui a mis beaucoup de temps (+ de 10 ans au vu des premières beta ?!). Le résultat des deux premiers "mondes" convainquant pour s'arracher un peu la tête tout en étant dans le chill. C'est frais et ça change de ce qu'on a l'habitude de voir - Tout en rappelant du chuchu rocket par exemple. A acheter pour soutenir le dev :-)

Really enjoyed this puzzling experience. The levels start easy but get more complicated and challenging as you go along. The feeling of solving a puzzle and getting the music playing just right is incredibly satisfying! _Especially_ the ones where completing the puzzle triggers the drum loop to kick in. Occasionally I felt like I reached a solution more by luck than judgement (as the puzzles get more intricate it's sometimes hard to keep everything that's going on in your head), but for the most part the game does a great job of leading you into the concepts of how to connect up the various mechanisms to make them work in logically consistent ways. When hooking up a very abstract puzzle like this starts to feel intuitive, it's the mark of excellent game design in my book! I had a go with the sandbox and I feel like there's a lot that could be done with it. Right now everything I make sounds rubbish but I suspect that's because I don't quite have the right brain for it. Maybe if I just try one more loop...

Delightful, satisfying and feels fuzzy to play.

кайфовая игра, жалко проходиться быстро, надеюсь новые уровни появяться и снова куплю

Cadence is a gem. It's charming, challenging and rewarding, but it's also elegant and original in a way that modern games...aren't. It feels like it was made with love, like it says in the intro.

What an incredibly beautiful and considered puzzle game. The style, sound design, and game play and thought out and delightful.
