Your Music Puzzle
Quite a niche genre in Steam to be seen.
An idea for deconstructing songs into pieces to reassemble them again was never so interesting, so I decided to give it a try.
The game is replayable as long as you have songs to make puzzles from and your motivation.
Completing songs takes a lot of time, I have spent nearly a half an hour to match all the pieces of a song together into a long chain of music.
I noticed that long chains of pieces sometimes do not want to join to other chains, but it occurs very rarely.

Grabbed this Game the day it came out, and it certainly did NOT disappoint! You can take the songs already a part of the game, or bring in your own music…and see how well you REALLY know the songs you have as favorites…displaced into several puzzle pieces, and it tests how well you indeed know them…which verses come first, etc, to see how challenging it will end up being…but REALLY well done!! The pieces really DO fit together, and parts that repeat or sound similar within a chosen song, is where you’ll really be tested. Never unfair, the challenge does depend on which song you select, but deals more with you than this game, as the game is really done that well. With the possible exception of not being able to save your work once its finished, this game is otherwise masterfully done, VERY cool, good fun OR good time waster, depending on how you see it, but time well spent in any case. ‘Your Music Puzzle’ exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were high. Worthy in every way!

Cadence
Cadence is something different: a hybrid of game and music sandbox. Understanding how to bring these two worlds together has been a quest 8 years in the making. It’s now finally here for you to enjoy.
How you spend your time with Cadence is up to you. Some people will enjoy relaxing with the game and solving levels. Tinkerers will enjoy fiddling with music in the sandbox. The crazy ones will program things we didn’t even know were possible.
Game play
You don’t need a sense of rhythm or a good ear to play Cadence - just your thinking cap and a bit of patience will reward you with gentle zen melodies. Puzzles start simple and build up to complex head-scratchers.
Make some noise
If you’ve tried music production you’ll know it’s intimidating. Cadence’s sandbox mode has been meticulously designed so that “time to first sound” is mere seconds. It doesn’t matter if you’re a composer looking for inspiration or you’ve never made a note of music in your life - Cadence is an entirely new and playful way of interacting with music.
Many are better than one
Cadence goes deep: underneath the game there’s a Turing complete logic system and a host of music production tools for you to explore. What’s possible with Cadence is an open question.
That’s why Steam Workshop is deeply integrated with effortless one-click import:
-
play the best community generated levels
-
collectively learn new techniques
-
show off your proudest creations

Super Chains
Having beaten and very much enjoyed the original Chains back in 2008, getting its sequel after seeing it on the Steam store a couple of weeks ago was a no-brainer. I remember spending quite a few hours on the original, even though it didn’t take too long to finish. It’s one of those games you can easily come back to – play through it once, figure out which levels you like most and replay them whenever you have a few minutes to kill.
Having now beaten the sequel, I can easily see myself coming back to it many times in the future, as well. Super Chains isn’t simply the original with updated graphics – while it brings back nearly half of the original’s levels, it introduces a number of new ideas into the mix. The main mechanic is obviously still connecting a set of colored balls, but this time around they might represent the letters of a word or poker cards – something that wasn’t explored much in the original that I found very enjoyable.

Super Chains is not necessarily an easy game to review, not because there’s anything wrong with it, but rather because it’s so many different games, all (so far as I’ve played) done right. Enough to please pretty much any puzzle gamer several times over, I’d imagine. And I say that with a rather extensive library of “pure puzzle” games of my own from Steam.
Super Chains starts off slowly, allowing each player to become accustomed to the “connect the colored balls” variety, of which there are several. But when I say several, I don’t mean that that they are the same, or even particularly similar. Certainly not similar enough to become repetitive, and with the presence of both Global and Friends leaderboards, repeat play is very much a given. (Competition never grows old!) And with ten languages (so far), competition is global. And something else that prevents Super Chains from getting old is the superior soundtrack. Easily one of the best I’ve heard for a puzzle game.

神秘世界 Mysterious world
There’s no reason for VR in this game. You’re playing 2D free to play browser quality java-type games from back in the late 90s or early 2000s. The music is pretty bad too. You don’t have to take my word for it though, just look at the store page video.
Rate 2/10.
