MuX
An amazing playground for sound and music synthesis that unfortunately seems to be abandoned, lacking several critical features. Even so, if you have any interest whatsoever in music making, it’s really fun to play around and build contraptions within it.

Lynium
Not a game I play a lot of by any means, but it’s a nice game to play every once in a while to relax when I need a break from playing other games.
Lately I’ve found myself enjoying a lot of rhythm games like Muse Dash, Osu and a few others. I’ve found myself enjoying this game the most though, as I’ve been opening it up almost every day and playing a little bit here and there. I’m not good at rhythm games by any means but I still enjoy them.
Lynium has a Learning curve, and compared to other rhythm games, it’s a bit different considering it’s still new and in early access but very enjoyable. The initial controls for the game are a bit awkward at first but I was able to change them to be more comfortable for myself. I haven’t tried the multiplayer or making a beatmap yet but the game feels nice. Like a fully finished game!

I stumbled across lynium when i was looking for a new rhythm game to play. I was definitely sceptical at first, however i’m really glad i got it.
I find the game really throws you in at the deep end, it gives you a quick tutorial saying to just press buttons and then you start. The controls are quite challenging to get used to, however easy to pick up with practise. I’ve really enjoyed progressing from not being able to hit a double note to getting pretty good scores in the matter of hours and i’ve been hooked on it since download.

Milkyway Funland
Couldn’t get on with any of the mini games. There is a stupid system where you have to “earn” goes at the minigames by doing some other (equally dull) mini-games. Why not just allow us to replay the games at will?

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
Milkyway Funland is not really a free to play experience as it has in-app purchases, where you can basically either buy tickets to play the mini-game experiences or buy a pass. The pass costs $14.99 USD and I believe that with that you have unlimited access to all the rides forever if I’m not mistaken. I did not buy the pass.
However, you still have limited access to the content. You’re basically given a set number of tickets so you can experience some of the mini-games. I was able to experience 4 of them. You also have access to the ability to earn tickets. There’s a level with some basic mini-games that if you do well on, you will also get a ticket. However, they do the old carnival trick where the mini-games are much harder than they should be. In fact, the pinball experience is next to impossible (because it’s bugged and the ball will drain right down the middle and it’s just not fun). The whack-a-mole (skeleton) looked easy and it was, but somehow I didn’t get a ticket.

MUSYNX
TL;DR:
Pros:
-
+ Base game is very cheap - still has decent song selection
-
+ For novices and masters alike - People that say this game is easy do not understand the scoring system
-
+ Awesome visuals, well placed notes and keysound system making for super satisfying gameplay
-
+ All quality of life features and adjustments expected from a good rhythm game included (offset value, 3d and 2d visuals etc.)
-
+ Vast amount of musical genres

If you’re looking for good rhythm games on steam, your options are pretty limited and this is a great addition to the current library of them.
This review is from the perspective of a Beatmania IIDX 10th Dan and experienced Pump It Up player (s24/d24), who also plays other rhythm games (SDVX/Taiko/Miku/Ouendan1&2/Rhythm Heaven/Groove Coaster, etc), so hopefully that will help somebody give it more perspective, if you don’t know what any of the things I wrote above means then don’t even worry, I’ll explain more below.

Robo Maestro
Robo Maestro is a procedural music toy. It’s a revolutionary new way of creating and experiencing music! You tell it what you want, and then the Maestro automatically generates music that fits that. Playing Robo Maestro requires no music knowledge at all: just have fun and hear what happens! Guide the Maestro and create awesome music together with it!
Maestro Mode
Maestro Mode is the main attraction: a fun, relaxing experience where the music constantly evolves based on your choices. The Maestro generates random options that you can choose from to alter the music. Hear something you like? Store it as a chorus to come back to later, or save it for usage in the editors.
Loop Editor
Build your own loops and define details like instruments, layers, intensity and random seeds. Whatever you do, Robo Maestro makes sure it always fits with the rest of the music!
Song Editor
Combine your loops to create complete songs!
Export your creations
Share your music with friends, or open it in any other music software to continue editing there. What you create with Robo Maestro is yours to use in any way you like!
Optional deep tweaks
You can also dive deeper and define the chords and time signatures yourself. You don’t have to though: Robo Maestro can figure everything out itself, so you don’t need to know any music theory to use it. But if you want, you can get more detailed control.
Jam companion
Jam along to Robo Maestro on your favourite instrument or vocals! This automatic mode will let Robo Maestro endlessly evolve the music, fully automatically, as a backing for your own improvisation. Or enable the full features and just sit back and be surprised by what Robo Maestro can generate!
Advanced automatic composition
Robo Maestro is powered by an advanced procedural music generator. Dozens of algorithms work together to create each aspect of a song: drums, bass, melody, chords, rhythm, notes and much, much more. You can control each step individually, or just let Robo Maestro generate a complete loop and make tweaks from there.
