Later levels are barely playable. Whatever service the game uses for login seems to be down (probably their website), which also means three achievements are broken: checking the rankings, sharing your score, and obtaining all achievements. As a rhythm game it's very barebones. There are some nice parts to it, and after beating the game I sort of got used to it, but I wouldn't really recommend it. The calibration didn't help much and can't be adjusted manually. During play there is absolutely no indication of timing, so I don't know how to try to adjust the calibration, if that even is part of the problem. Hits just don't seem to register properly a lot of the time. Maybe because it's hard to follow what the notes are timed to. Maybe because of how the game prioritizes your input to targets that are closer to the middle (that's actually a good thing). Or maybe the timings are just weird and very strict. Most of the later levels have fast hits which are very hard with the one button s...

About This Game
Sonar Beat is a musical rhythm arcade game with a twist: the notes follow a spiral structure, so the ones you miss will remain and will move forward towards your center. If they reach it, you’re dead. You play through a radar interface using your sensor cone to detect enemies approaching the center. Gameplay randomness ensure they won't always appear on the same point every time you play, so be careful. You must destroy each enemy at the precise moment that your sensor gets in contact with it. If you fail, the enemy will come closer by and you will ultimately lose!
Compete in online leaderboards for the highest rank and challenge your friends by sharing your score in social media.
FEATURES
- Crafted electronic music with underwater theme, 12 different tracks.

I've been a musician for almost 15 years and have played rhythm games since the very early days of Flash Flash Revolution in 2002, I should not be having this much trouble hitting notes on the beat. I calibrated the game several times but some songs just absolutely do not want to register notes properly. I don't know if this is a bug, poorly conveyed timing with the interface, or what. On top of that, the actual mechanics are very poorly shown and taught. Plain beats are easy enough, but there's both double beats requiring two keys, as well as double circle symbols, and it's never explained at all how these work, especially when notes fall very close to each other but on different lines. None of the elements of the interface are 'explained' except held notes. What are notes that seem faded and ghostly, away from my line indicator? When do I take damage and/or lose a combo, when I miss a note or when it seems to travel to the center? When you have literal milliseconds to process visual ...
This is a very addictive and fun to play game, If you want to work onyour hand to eye coordination then give this game a go! Catchy beats, good learning curve and simple but challenging gameplay make this a lot of fun when you have a few minutes here and there.
A pretty little game with an interesting visual concept merged with the gameplay: it’s a rhythm game where the notes follow the circular shape of a radar, like a submarine. Thus, the notes appear in a circular order, less linear than in other rhythm games, a little bit like in the persona dancing games. However, in this game every note you fail keeps coming at the center of the radar, like an enemy that dodges your attacks (in fact, every note is really an “enemy” on the radar), and the game ends when one note/enemy reaches the core, in other words, your own ship.
