This game is seriously AWESOME!! I teach piano, and I use this app to reinforce "feeling the beat" which is very difficult for some students. This game requires that you tap precisely on the beat in order to survive! Another great thing about it is that the students don't even think of it as learning. It's just a game to them, never a chore. I often pull up this game halfway through lessons to give them a "break" (when secretly it's not a break because they're still learning... Shhh!!)Even if you're not a musician and not trying to be, you still need this app. It's easy to learn, tricky to master, just like the description says. Anybody and everybody should have this app. You won't regret it!!

This app was recommended to me as a piano teacher. Students/players are not keeping a beat, they’re tapping a screen at certain strategic times in order to jump an obstacle. It reminds me of Mario - the sheep need to jump so as not to fall, but it’s not every beat. Users are definitely not learning to keep a beat if that’s what you’re looking for. There’s no option to vary or individualize the tempo for different students or different levels. This game can be played without music though. In fact, I (the teacher and pianist of 50 years) can beat the levels with the music completely off since the taps often don’t actually correlate with the music. The music is slightly off and, therefore, distracting. The challenge of this game is when to use one finger or two or a swipe, not if the player actually got the “beat” correct. It’s more of a game with background music (requiring various types of taps/swipes) than an actual music game. Each section has the exact same music for each level - no variation, just different times to tap or swipe and no tempo variation. A user has to complete all previous levels in order to progress, so if a teacher wants to use it with an advanced student, he or she has to spend time beating each section in order to have it ready for an advanced player. Speaking of music, while all my other apps have sound, this app’s sound doesn’t always work despite all device settings being correct. As a teacher, I’d rather have students be challenged to keep a beat than remember if they need one finger, two fingers, or a swipe. My students have never made a “beat” error, only a one finger or two finger tap error. They REALLY dislike this game compared to the others I use. As a teacher, I’d really like different tempos, a wider variety of music, and less of a memory game than a music game. There are much better and reliable music beat and rhythm games available, that are also customizable, if that’s what a player is looking for. I’m glad it was only 99 cents because I won’t be using it again.

I purchased this app and installed it on an iPad Pro and an iPad Air. Until the recent update, all I ever managed to see was friendly clouds for half a second, then the app crashed. What a scam--I was thinking. Then, in March, there was an update. I downloaded it to the iPadPro and it WORKED! After trying the game for a while--it really is very good,--I updated it on the iPad Air, too. Well, it now loads and plays but WITHOUT SOUND! It is not very useful that way! A music app without sound? I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but the result is still the same: no sound at all. By the way, other apps play sound just fine on the same iPad Air, so my sound is not turned off on the iPad and there does not seem to be any sort of setting within the app when I could have done that specific to the app.

This game is incredible!!! So fun and so addictive. It’s perfect! I could play this game ALL day and not get bored. It’s great for piano and rhythm. I have one suggestion that might be really cool; what if you could pick the songs to play to, like popular songs you know, and you have to have the sheep jump to that rhythm. That way people can choose what song they want, instead of the theme ones set for each level.
