Fun concept with lots of scope for create output. Also great documentation, although the game/toy itself is fairly straight forward to figure out. It would be nice if you could scroll and zoom around a little faster, but this doesn't affect the enjoyment of playing with the software. Would recommend to anyone with a musical streak.

The line with many colours, and the ball bouncing at different speed and angles. This is Kinacoustic!! First bought the game, opened it, well, nothing special, but now i am totally stick on it!! Looking the ball bouncing around and making contact with the line is so satisfied, especially when you take time and decide to make a song, you can,t stop playing the game until you finish the song!! I am so sure that you will have incredible feeling of success and delight when you complete your works! So take your time and enjoy the unique musical experience in this game Highly recommand to the music lover, or anyone!! ^_^
It sucks. Dont let the video fool you. You will never be able to do that.
A very fun physics based music sandbox of sorts, if your a fan of music and like the animusic series this game is a must
To be honest — at the moment I've lost a fight with this game. xD In comparison with classical musical tabs I've got used to long time ago I mostly have not enough patience for this. It is easy to understand the way of how it works and how to use what you have to create something, but as already been said here — this thing is easy to learn but hard to master. But still I love it as something quite unique. Myself I have both musical skill and above basic knowledge how to correctlty compose music, earlier I've sometimes had a mood to write polyfoniac melodies on many different voices, but I've got used to tabulature programs such as Guitar Pro or Power tab and tabs/notes themselves (actually, not counting them as a programs since I'm not a pro and usind them for personal joy), and this game at some point made me wonder — if it will be better to reccomend it for people who hates solfège to show that solfège as it is is not such a difficult thing as they may see it, or quite opposi...
This game is very good, i love how you have all the choice in what songs you can make, it has been a pleasure so far playing this and im loving it. i rate it 10/10
Nice! Great Idea! I just played around a bit after the tutorial and had a good time :)
I just bought this and i love the concept! The only negative thing I can say about this is that the sound quality isn't the greatest in the world. However, I cannot wait to do full songs with this!
