Reviews for Vinyl Memories 2

[Tiruin]

I've always loved these music-based games when you could only lie back and listen: aim for the goal and avoid several 'bad notes'. Here, its as simple and calming--easy on the nerves--and the animations are fluid and smooth. The usual flexible hit-boxes for errors and scoring add to the simplicity.

Though I think the circle-draw limit for combos should be known. With the shop purchase, its a maximum of five possible chances for combinations. I only found this out later in-game after a couple songs or two.

Thanks for the review!

The circle-draw limit is actually indicated by the pink filling within your cursor - though I should make this more obvious in the instructions. This can be regenerated by collecting the appropriate powerup in-game.

I was apprehensive about this submission at first. Upon reading the description, I learned that the music in the game was produced by the game's developer himself so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, it turned out to be quite catchy and was integrated into the gameplay very well.

If you're expecting some sort of adventure / sidescroller, you will be surprised. This plays more like a simple game app on a smartphone, so while it might not have a gripping story, it is a pleasure to just kick back and see how high of a score you can get. I've only played through a couple of times, yet I have already began to get the technique of the game down. Once you understand the necessary tactics, it becomes increasingly addictive to navigate the gems and mines.

Overall, this was a fun little game and I think the music ties into the game very nicely. It's not often that a developer will create a game for his music, and I think that in this instance it functions very nicely.
