Songbird Symphony

This game was pretty fun when it just had one button. Then they threw in two. Then they threw in three. It was still fun, there's no penalty for doing badly on the songs, but my uncoordinated self mixed with my fragile ego made me drop it. Still, go ahead and play this game... if you think you can take it.

One of my favorite games. The only rhythm platformer I can think of. Definitely worth the price. It starts out silly and whimsical and then hits you with a masterpiece of emotion.
EDIT: I just read three negative reviews that start with something like "I really want to like this game but" and then they go on to say the rhythm sections are too hard, and I want to make a rebuttal. I got an S on every song so it's definitely doable, you just gotta like the songs enough to want to practice them a lot, like with any rhythm game. It's true that the difficulty curve is pretty steep, starting off stupidly easy and ramping up to practically impossible. I actually had my wife play this game because I thought it was going to be super easy based on the demo, and she quickly found that she couldn't handle it. Most rhythm games have multiple difficulty levels for each song and this game just has one, but that works for the style of the game. It's kind of like Tchia in that you're not supposed to worry about the rhythm sections. And that's why it doesn't make sense to complain about it being too hard. You can pass with any score. There isn't even a score-related achievement (which is too bad for me because I aced everything, but it's okay to go in knowing you're doing it for its own sake)

Songbird Symphony is a simple but heartwarming game about identity, home, and family. It has a 16 bit graphical aesthetic and a musical theater mindset, most obviously visible in that its conflicts are resolved via rhythm gameplay, spaced out by minor exploration and puzzle solving. The rhythm gameplay is graded, but I don't think it's possible to "lose," and the puzzles are fairly straightforward and not all required -- pretty much everyone should be able to finish this game, but if you love it you can go back and be a completionist.

I'm not sure it's for everyone, but if keywords like "heartwarming," "musical theater," and "rhythm game" are attractive to you, you'll love Songbird Symphony.

If you found playing Guitar Hero on hard challenging, brace yourself for a bumpy ride. Luckily, frantic button mashing carried me through about 70% of the final song. The game features cute pixel art and a sweet storyline.
It's incredibly clever how each level's music evolves as you complete side quests and collect notes. 10/10.

Tell me why this game made me tear up, it will really hit you in the feels.
Super fun metroidvania rhythm game that has a story that melted my heart. I LOVE the gameplay, combat using music is something that I don't see often and it was awesome!

Short but sweet metroidvania-rhythm game with a heart warming story, pleasant music, and somewhat difficult gameplay at times.
The visual presentation of this game can be quite similar to Hollow Knight at times, it's a subtle but persistent reference throughout, but I don't see that as a bad thing as I do like that game quite a lot as well.

A truly magical musical experience! So adorable. A nice rhythm game with a cute story wonderful characters, awersome design and foesn't club you over the head with difficulty.
