Soundmap: The Music Game 4+

I had the free version of this app for about a month before upgrading to Pro. Initially, this was a very fun game because unlike a similar but more popular game, there is nothing more than a tap within range to receive the reward. The reward in opening a drop and receiving your favorite artist is satisfying and the trade aspect only fuels that passion of wanting to collect your favorites. Another obsessing feature I am conquering is the worldwide leaderboard. Having that option to view your rank within everyone else in the game is fun with this type of game. If I had anything that I would change, I would add the option to select multiple songs of someone else or ask for coins when proposing a trade with them. I would also like a feature to be added where we can view all badges of someone else’s profile. Great app, keep up the innovative updates!

The game already pretty fun, but there needs to be more goals. Like in Pokémon go, where you can put your Pokémon in gyms to get coins, and others try to fight your Pokémon to take your spot. The devs could set up something like an aux battle type thing to get this same type of thing. Also, there should be a way to trade with friends and have a rare chance of the trade upgrading the song. Like lucky Pokémon in Pokémon go. Basically, Pokémon go knew what they were doing, and the more features that you adapt from their game, the more people this game is going to draw in. Also the premium feature is the worst part of the app, and it should just become the normal for everyone without paying. People can maybe buy remote passes to get drops that are REALLY far away, but choosing your favorite artists and figuring out your rank, along with the bigger radius, should just be basic features that are free to play with.
Also, last thing, a really cool feature would be for the max rarity to be Unreleased, which is songs off of stuff like Days Before Rodeo, like albums and songs that aren’t officially on streaming services. That would be a really cool feature.

I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and I’ve seen it evolve as the player base increases. The development has been very good at addressing some concerns the community has. My main concern with the app though is how the meta of the game has changed since changing the “favorite artists pack” from 1k to 2k coins. It was pretty controversial at the time but it was balanced out by increased rewards for leveling up. The problem with this though is that the game is solely based on saving up for that pack, rather than experiencing the surprise of getting one of your favorite artists organically. The promise that there’s a 10x chance of getting your favorite artists with premium just isn’t true. If anything the amount I get from my favorite artists in normal drops has DECREASED since I first got the app. So it’s kinda just turned into an idle game where it’s just waiting until you have enough to unlock what u actually want.

Other than that I’m a huge fan and the customization updates of recent have been really cool.
