Melody's Escape 2

Обожаю ритм игры Это та игра, которую я мечтал встретить на странице рекомендаций Музыка из трейлера продала мне это великолепие с первых секунд Разрабам удачи, а мне терпения

I have absolutely adored this game since I've gotten it last year while it was still in early access, and has got to be by favorite game in terms of Music-Based Procedural Generation, there's no other quite like it, simple but so beautifully made, you just pick as song and enjoy it in a more interactive way. Sure, compared to the first game, it's not as simple in regards to the environment being 3 dimensional instead of the flat 2D, so there is a learning curve to knowing how to time your inputs. But the input detection is more lenient compared to the first game [I struggled quite a lot with perfect scores because the hitbox is pretty small even though I had the timing right, it was pretty odd] , and you learn quickly that on the perspective, your inputs should be timed as Melody steps in the middle of the shape. Obviously it's not good to compare it over the fact that it's different in that regard in the first place. The same learning curve applied to the first game can be applied to the second game, as a lot of things are with "practice makes perfect". I would just like to see way less of them both being compared over the change in perspective. That being said, the scenery and graphics are amazing, so well made and the environment, especially the grasslands, is indescribably beautiful. I love the use of the floating orbs that emit petals based on rhythm on both sides and the grass itself being the visualizer! There are some performance issues with that scene specifically but can be adjusted in the settings for quality. Speaking of visualizers, the game itself HAS built in visualizers in the main menu! I love them, as they use desktop audio and for the people that want to have it on a second monitor or something, that works as well! Even the new DLC that came out recently to support the developer, it looks amazing! As I he game has been in Early Access for years and had major changes as well, and I'm glad it's made. No game is going to be exactly perfect and there are still things being worked on to improve it. So much work has been put into this and it hasn't received much attention here on the platform. It deserves the love and support for the sheer amount of effort Loïc has put into it. What I would love to see is some sort of setting in the difficulties to add more or less nodes, while keeping the third option of leaving the song as is, as again, the rhythm and BPM detection isn't perfect, but at least we have some way to change that as well! Overall, it's a great 9/10 game, I highly recommend it for what it is and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. :3 When you can play ANY audio it really means ANY sort of audio, whether that be songs, any sort of music, heck, even audiobooks if that tickles your fancy, go for it! There are no limits. Seriously, thank you for these masterpieces Epsicode. <3 Maybe the Escape was the Melody we made once again.

It's by no means perfect but the mapping algorithm is really good considering how flexible it has to be.

A big improvement from the original game in every way. The music analysis algorithm makes the gameplay noticeably more fluid, though it can still be finicky in some genres. If you enjoyed the previous Melody's Escape, this is an all around upgrade.

简洁，但快乐就是这么简单

Aesthetically, I think I still prefer the first game, but the core gameplay is a good as it's ever been, with some improvements to audio analysis. Lovely bundled music from aeseaes, a duo I had never heard of before, and which provides a nice change of pace from the more energetic electronic. Excited to see what's to come!

I liked the original Melody's Escape a lot, and I think this one is even better. The visuals are colorful and engaging, and the algorithm used to convert songs into note-laden tracks works quite well and feels natural and intuitive for the most part. To keep every track from looking the same, songs may feature slower sections where Melody walks and catches notes in her hand, or sections where she flies quickly just above the ground, adding a bit of visual variety. There are also a few customization options, mostly to change the way Melody looks. I do have a few gripes, though. - The way songs are converted into tracks often seems to follow a predictable pattern. For instance, many songs will have you pressing ABA, directional input, XAX, directional input, YXY, directional input, BYB, directional input, and so on, so that your right thumb is constantly pairing buttons in a clockwise motion. It's actually exceedingly rare to get Y and A (or X and B) consecutively. It would have been nice to see more variation in how the algorithm generates notes. - The screen will freeze for a moment in the middle of a song, making it very easy to miss the next note. This isn't random, and tends to happen the first time I miss a note, go into "flying" mode, or make a "jump" in a play session. It won't happen again under those circumstances in the same session, but the next time I play I'll usually have the freezing occur again. - One of the achievements necessitates playing 500 (!) different songs, which seems like an unreasonably large number. I did eventually get it, but only after playing this game on and off for several years. None of those gripes are dealbreakers, though, and I had a lot of fun with Melody's Escape 2. I can't really speak for the music included with the game (which I never played), but this game is a great way to experience my favorite songs from my CD collection. Recommended.
