    Just as crazy-awesome a game as one would expect to get from the people who brought us Space Invaders-Infinity Gene.

    The bigger screen is nice, but the levels scales so well, you won't miss out by using a smaller one.

    A rhythm game that would not work on any other platform but is simply great on a smartphone. Inventive graphics changing music into vectors and some awesome ideas make Groove Coaster a worthy purchase. [Sept 2011, p.76]

    It's definitely one of the "must plays" of the iOS, and at only $2.99 on the App Store, you should go grab it right now!

    It arrives fully formed, with a challenge and aesthetic that's beautifully intertwined and finely crafted. Joyous.

    Groove Coaster is a textbook example of how to make an iOS game correctly. Simple one-finger controls and quick play sessions belie a game with a considerable amount of depth and replay value.

    It's both a sensory delight and a genuinely brilliant score attack game.. not a combo many games can claim to pull off to this high standard. [Issue#113, p.111]

    The only real complaint to be had with Groove Coaster is that there isn't more of it.

    Nearly perfect. The music is great. The visuals are great. The rhythm action itself feels tight and perfectly matches each tune. Best of all, this is an experience that would be very hard to replicate on a traditional platform – this is a game built from the ground-up for iPhone, and it shows.

    Groove Coaster is another little masterpiece by Reisuke Ishida; a great rhythm game that fits perfectly on the Apple devices and that any lover of the genre should check out.

    We don't know what Space Invaders are doing in a rhythm game, but we like it.

    Its elegance surpasses some of its antecedents, like Osu! Tatke! Ouendan!

    This game is HOT! It's like sequel to Rez on the iPhone. Such a simple concept, but totally well done. One my current favs. Some of the music could be better, but overall still awesome.… Full Review »
