  It takes a minute to get to grips with the game, but once you do, it's really cool. There are two in-game tutorials which will get you going on basics, but really to do anything interesting you need more than that. I strongly recommend watching some of the videos linked on the main menu, at least the first two. I've only just started playing, really, but now that I understand the core concepts, I'm sitting here with a dumb grin on my face at getting an automatic piano base going. Is that music in itself super special? Definitely not, but I'm really excited to keep going and see how far I can push it, and the artistic vibe of the world you're doing this in makes the entire thing super relaxing and rewarding. You're not just playing some basic piano track, you've got this entire visual experience punching along with your beat. It feels great. The game works with MIDI keyboards as well, for those that are wondering. I'm playing without one myself, and the UX is more than good enough to get things going without, but if you do have one kicking around it's probably worth getting it set up for this. If you're at all into music synthesis - or have contemplated whether music synthesis might be something for you but haven't bothered due to the complexity (that's me!), I really recommend giving Mix Universe a shot!

  Mix Universe is on the right track. It's fun and easy to loose track of time with. You don't have to be musical to understand it. It's the coolest creative music world builder game I've ever played. Plenty of great examples projects and tutorials in-game to learn from too. Looking forward to the future with this!

  Alright i need to put a review because people haven't tried this a lot yet and im loving it a lot. The whole games focus is connection of node structures to make really interesting and amazing music. you have different layers and combinations of sounds and lights and other stuff. but the most amazing part is how simple yet complex it is. one of those "easy to figure out" "impossible to master" kind of things. if you have any interest in making music or just having a unique sandbox to mess with? please try it. i recommend it heavily.

  I love music and rhythm games a great deal, and getting a game that also includes the tools for me to really flex my creativity and play around with sound in a way that is pretty intuitive and visually stunning is a combination that is tough to beat. I was following the developer for a few months after stumbling on an ad for their game, and I was eagerly awaiting the release of this game. Personally, there are few comparisons I can make that truly capture how fun and unique this game is. Music production software is often expensive and esoteric, requiring a minimum level of competency to be able to do more than make hideous noise. But the interface here is so pleasant that even if I'm not making a masterpiece, it's a fun time and I just want to sink in more time to this! I can't wait to see what other things come out before this game exists early access, but as it is? I strongly recommend it to anyone with a taste for tinkering and a love of music and spacey, chill goodness.

  Something that is so relaxing while also causing you to think creatively (Green is NOT a creative color) that makes it so beautiful that you can lose track of the time you've spent playing. It's easy to learn but hard to master. The music you can create in this is so wonderful. I love it and with how it's only $20, I say it's worth it.
