Something is wrong with calmness mode

Calmness mode does not seem to allow any interaction at all. Ship pilots itself. The other mode is fun.
Buggy and opaque, but has potential

As a rhythm game, it’s a bit perplexing. As other reviews have pointed out, there doesn’t seem to be much relationship between the music and the tap cadence required to play the game as intended. As a meditation tool, it requires a bit too much focus, so it’s not all that relaxing. Nonetheless, it’s possible to see the potential here, if the game’s execution can be fine-tuned a bit. The “Apple Music Selections” option doesn’t work at all (I subscribe to Apple Music). The only thing that happens after selecting a song is that the gameplay screen appears, and then the level ends abruptly. One more thing: I’d love to see an option to export the playlists for the various levels to my Apple Music account! From what I can tell, the game designers have great taste in music and are definitely helping me discover new artists!
Relax mode

Relax mode is a great idea with interesting possibilities but it needs some love for more intuitive usability. The spinning overlapping rings are a nice idea but if you stick with them as-is they’re too fine and need a visually distinctive cue. My approach would be something similar to a Photoshop blending more like dodge with the counter clockwise ring in one color, clockwise in another, and getting the visual cue as they interact to create a third color. If you want to go crazy with it, a simple particle starburst would further drive the point home of whatever final blended color you decide on. “It said good and there were a couple of green particles here and there but perfect showed a few dozen evenly distributed.” Test, test, test! :) Good luck!
Calm mode results in rage

Mind Symphony presents itself really well, and it’s an experience I want to love. However, after playing Calm mode for a few minutes, I’m just simply frustrated. As a musician, I want to tap the rings to the best. This is impossible, the rings need to be tapped purely randomly..during an up beat, in the middle of the best somewhere but it’s not a 16th note or 8th note or triplet..perhaps the rings are being placed automatically based on an analysis of the song’s wave file. If this is the case, it causes the rings to appear actually in non-intuitive timing. As the system exists right now, I don’t think I’ll ever feel calm playing calm mode!
Ok, needs some stuff

Got this today, and I have to say, this is a fire game! The controls don’t have a great tutorial on how they work, but once you figure it out, they are smooth! Calmness mode Pretty good, but the taps aren’t in sync with music. This shouldn’t be to hard to fix, as I’ve done similar stuff on another game called geometry dash. It may take a little trial and error, but I’m sure the devs will fix this. I mean, it only came out like a few days ago. Stress relief mode Pretty straight forward. You blast ships in time with the music. Again, it’s not totally in sync with the music, and in a few of the dance songs where the beat fizzles out, you stop blasting. Not hard to fix, but it will take a little time. Final thing! Please make it to where I can have my own Apple Music songs on here. I’d love to blast aliens in sync with jaykode and pixel terrors “dystopia”, or peacefully tap the screen to foresters “radio show”. Thanks for taking the time to read this??
Is this a broken rhythm game?

Concept is nice. Visuals are good. Mechanics are .... what’s the point? It feels like you should tap to the beat of the songs, but it’s not what is happening. If you’re trying to combine the mind and music, then combine the the mind with the music. Otherwise you’re just listening to songs and trying to arbitrarily tap the screen when the orb gets close? It’s not relaxing, it’s annoying.
I love the concept but...
