inSynch

This game is utterly abstract, and everything in it is real. That's the impression inSynch provides in every way. I used to disdain rhythm games. That was before I realized they were art, or should aspire to be. This game achieves that completely. The stop-motion animation gives much more "motion" than "stop". It's a funny feeling seeing a photograph move. The pixellation, blockiness and glitchy artifacts of digital graphics that I have trained my brain not to even *notice* in most other games, because they're so ubiquitous? They're completely absent here. It's the visual equivalent of listening to electronic music when someone begins playing a woodwind behind your head. Speaking of music, the music in this game has a very similar effect to the visual fluidity and verisimilitude that went into the visual animations. There are electronic noises and the sounds of sticks being hit together, and I think that was two glasses of wine tinking together in a toast. And somehow, no matter how your gameplay affects the music (and it does), the overall composition remains interesting and very cool. There's a mode where you play just for fun, without penalty for misses, and without really too much emphasis on score -- in fact, it's the only mode available when you begin. And the effect is just that -- fun. Hell, the pieces you're interacting with dance for you in ways that can only be described as playful to the point of ecstatic. InSynch was first released in an art gallery, and it shows. It's a beautiful, playful, and engaging piece of interactive art. Well worth the purchase price, if only to support people who might put more things like this into our world.

Highly addictive, hectic andfun, inSynch is the puzzle game that masquerades as a rhythm game. You hit four keys to bump four different blocks into a pit to make the level's song grow and transform into the full song, and that's about it! Timing is absolutely key.

How this utterly gorgeous piece of interactive art has gone so utterly unnoticed is an assault to the senses. InSynch, you deserve better. What can I say to convince you to support this completely ignored gem? That it's a handcrafted rythm based masterpiece that is a shockingly good time by yourself or with a friend? It's hard to put into words the endearment I feel for this game, and the borderline disgust I have that this is being overlooked in favor of Temper Tantrum. This entire game has "Indie Success Story" written all over it, one that the likes of Kotaku and Polygon would be drooling at the chance to cover, and yet...nothing. I usually dive into the mishmash of the game and give my thoughts but really, borkabrak had it covered. This is a work of art, a borderline masterpiece. Here it is people, a great, unique indie game that could bring couples together and cause devotion from a number of aspiring artists, and yet here it sits, virtually untouched for half a year. So rarely do I find a game so filled with utter passion for its art, and so gleeful and fascinating to play for small bites of time. I went over to see how well their android version of the game is: surely it might've caught on in the mobile market, right? Nah. Estimated 10-50 installs. I'm heartbroken. I don't know where it all fell apart. Lack of marketing maybe? InSynch as close to being a fluke of nature, because all I can decypher is that this is just bad, bad luck. If I could find a way to get the word out on this gem, I think I will. This stopped being a review a while ago, so thanks for bearing with me, but I haven't been this impassioned about a game in a while. Them Games, you're an amazing developer. I hope you can do more things from here on out, because you've at the very least got a fan in me.

Alors oui je n'ai pas joué encore très longtemps à ce jeu au moment où je rédige cette évaluation. Mais l'on saisi rapidement le concept qui est vraiment prenant. Il y a quelque chose de très poétique dans ce jeu. Un aspect soutenu par son esthétique et son OST. Mais tout poétique qu'il soit, le jeu offre une réelle difficulté. Bercé par cette ambiance, vous n'aurez plus qu'un objectif : battre le High score. Détail mais vraiment appréciable, il y a un making of du jeu à l'intérieur.

I like the artwork and animation style, but it is a very difficult rhythm game to play. The music you are playing the game to isn't affected at all whether you hit the right notes or not. Also there is no specific musical queue to tell you when each different shape should be pushed into the middle. All of the shapes are coming from different corners of the screen, making it a bit hectic, and the animations, while unique, tend to obscure exactly when you should be hitting each shape.

音乐互动很带感，就是explore mode现在关卡太少了。Exploit微微难。

I've bought this a long time ago when it was first released on the Humble store; only later did I receive Steam key. For me the aesthetics fell pretty close to the uncanny valley. My brain tries to see things as real objects, but then they aren't which confuses me slightly. Additionally, the low animation frames and unnatural physics when dropping, makes it feel even more strongly off putting. But that's just my personal taste, others might not even see this. The levels are quite fun to complete, but it can be quite tricky to keep up with four different moving lanes and often it's rather hard to actually hear the rhythm. It's an indie game, so don't go in with high expectations only to get disappointed.

Wonderfully weird rythm game with an absolutely astonishing stop motion look. Takes some getting used to but once you start learning to parse the game area, getting into a perfect flow is an amazingly meditative experience.

Jeu de rythme conceptuel, à différents niveaux musicaux avec décors varié mais pas trop. Par contre il faut être très précis pour réussir certains envoies, mais par contre l'animation des éléments peut porter à confusions et empêcher d'avancer.
