Dancing Line - Music Game Reviews

I’ve been playing this game for about two years and it’s an overall great game, although until recently, I’ve been having trouble with lag and loading. In the case of many levels, (the sailors tale, the spring festival, the chaos, the legend of assassin, etc.) I’ve found there to be problems with gameplay. I would highly suggest that you add more options in the settings, like disable shake. I understand that shake effects are incorporated to increase difficulty, though I’m a very skilled player and the shake just creates annoying and unstable gameplay. Another thing that would be sufficient would be the inclusion of ad personalization. I am a mobile player and I keep getting the same ads about Disneyland, Klondike, Wordscapes, Angry Birds, and it makes me outrageously irritated. I would also prefer there to be fewer 30 seconds and over ads. I feel as if they waste time that I could spend enjoying the game. About the ads again, whenever an ad is about to show up, the level that I’m on glitches, trying to load the ad, which turns out to have better quality than the game itself. Unlike many others, I know that you need the money from the ads, although I want it to be more fair, meaning that one ad doesn’t completely corrupt the screen. Those were all of my suggestions, and I hope that you have carefully read this and acknowledged my issues. The game is very good, but a few tweaks would make it almost perfect. Thank you.

I’m not a very good player, but this game is still my favorite. The graphics are pleasing and the music is beautiful. Even when I’m doing horrible at the game itself, I still manage to feel more at peace, refreshed and happier in general after playing. I could play the same level 100 times and still feel entertained. There is quite a surprising amount of diversity in the game and many levels.

With that said, the ads were incredibly annoying in this game specifically. But I wasn’t bothered paying $5.99 to remove them. This is such a great app that I think it’s a catch it’s even free, so I feel justified in spending to remove the ads. There’s also a little bit of lag, but it doesn’t really bother me. The push to make players spend on packs and levels and coins is a little bit obnoxious however, and it’s my only genuine complaint. It’s annoying trying to figure out if you won something from the level and you’re getting it for free, or if clicking on it is going to ask for a password to charge your card or bring you to a 60 second ad.

The negatives don’t balance out the positives though — it’s a great game. I would be pleased to see an update to clear the confusion between messy advertisement of expensive skin packs and actual earnings from collecting diamonds or passing a level though. I’m genuinely happy with DancingLine and feel grateful for how amazing it is now.

I remember I first downloaded this game in 7th grade, 2017, when it had first come out. I was immediately drawn in by it, and it seemed like the only game I could always play and never get tired of. Now I’m a senior in 2022, and this game has become my comfort game, I play it any time I feel anxious and it instantly makes me feel better. As a person interested in the arts as well as technology and graphic design, I was drawn in by how well the game was designed, whether it was each song and it’s graphics, the different tools used to play the level, the inclusion of helpful lines to know when to tap, or the wide selection of music genres. I have completed almost every song perfectly and finished all the challenges, and still participate in the weekly challenge to get notes. Every time I feel stressed, I just open DancingLine and play “The Chinese Garden”, and every single time I am fascinated by the music, the graphics, and the hidden gem that can only be achieved by tapping the beats correctly. This game is a visual representation of the combination of the arts, computer science, and graphic design, all in one. I am truly blessed to have had the chance to find this game, and use it as an inspiration for my future. If ever I get the chance to communicate with the team behind making this game, it would be an honor!

When I started playing this game, there were only 8 levels: the piano, the winter, the plains, the storm, the earth, the desert, the chaos, and the cathedral. The piano was the easiest level at the start and I could not even beat it. I mean, my brother could beat it, but why couldn’t I? But that didn’t stop me. I tried so hard to beat the piano and finally finished it one day. But then one day, I deleted it. The levels just got too hard. Then one day in school, I thought about dancing line and was like “maybe I should get it back.” So I did. And somehow I still was good at it. Well, better at it than before. Skip to today, and I literally Beat the cathedral recently, and I’m gonna see the 3rd anniversary of dancing line!!! After about 1 year, listening to all the catchy songs, getting a new level often, and doing challenges to get levels for free, the hardest level I beat was the crystal. (Cuz It was the closest one to the bottom that I completed.) even know I get adds crazily, One day I’ll remove them. And one day, I might even make my own fan made level. (That will be when I grow up, cuz I’m only 9.) and I even LOVE the secret at the end of the maze that shows a picture of the dancing line team. That’s all I have to say about it, but thank you for this amazing game, because it was the game that made me like music. Bye!!!! 😄

OK so I have been every single level in this game except for the new level“All about us“. I love this game in the sense that is addicting, but also very simple and not hard to understand. I feel like you guys were on a Roll with all the levels until you made the sailors tail. The sailors tail is a nice level but you left a lot of blank spaces and the level could’ve been much nicer if you would’ve just waited a week or two to release it and added a lot more smaller details on the sides and places like that. Every single section of a level was unique before a sailors tail. You never just use the same theme or colors or anything like that for a section of a level. I feel like the Crystal was your best level. It was totally unique, it never repeated itself, and was a beautiful level overall. The new level all about us is really bad and doesn’t stick to the music and you can tell that it was lazily made. It’s good that you used a song with words, but I think everything a one of your OG fans love the original instrumental soundtracks. I feel like when you started this game it was beautiful and we’re just doing it because you loved it. Seems like you’re just doing it for the money now. The level of ad you have to watch just play the game is ridiculous. Everyone loved the simplicity of the old menu design and I really wish that you could change it back. I love this game and I’m going to keep playing it, but you need to get back to basics

a few years ago i would have rated DancingLine 5 stars. it’s great, addicting, fun, & keeps you interested. but over the years the developers have become too money hungry.. ads are literally everywhere & they load the screens with more adds to make you buy things from them.. lets start with revivals or “boxes”. you NEED them to even play the game. you get 15 boxes/ revivals for free. after that you either have to pay real money or watch long ads to get more. they at least used to have an option where you could buy unlimited revivals for 24 hours for 99¢. now it’s 50 revivals for 99¢. then you have the themed levels. it used to be that some were free but as you pass them, you use gold that you earn in the game from completing one level to save & pay for another level..you used to have to save a couple hundred gold you earned to unlock a level. now it’s high hundreds to thousands of gold & now they give you less gold when you pass levels, so new levels are hard to unlock.. but wait theres more. now you have to earn points from completing challenges to even be ALLOWED to use the gold YOU EARNED to unlock a level. otherwise you have to watch ads to do a trial run of the level or buy the level with REAL MONEY for 3.99+. it’s actually ridiculous the ways they try to force you to spend money. i understand they have to make money cause it’s a free game but they are making it unenjoyable with their greed.

When I got the game, I loved all the new songs and menu design. However, it glitches so much! I was doing the beach song, which is the remix of the piano song, and the screen would freeze and then it would unfreeze and my dancing line would catapult and send me off track, and there is nothing I can do about it. Also, the winter song has random blocks appear, which is not the glitch. It’s the fact that the screen freezes and I freezes but the dancing line is way ahead of the game so you don’t know where the blocks are going to appear and they only appear behind you, so you just crash instantly. No, my phone is not responsible for the glitching because I never experienced it before, only on this game. Now I feel bad talking trash about the game and it’s glitching, but it needs to change. It will make my day if there and update saying general bug fixes because right now it’s ridiculous. Lastly, the adds are annoying too, but not as much as the glitches. All in all, I know I talked trash about the game but it is still a very great game and the music is phenomenal. It is very addicting and deserves some praise. I’m still keeping the game but please fix the glitches! If you are trying to decide to download it and you are reading this, don’t think I made it sound horrible, because it is not! Give it a shot and you will love it! #nohate #lovethisgame #fixtheglitches

Overall, this is the only game so far I have rated a five star. There are a few things that I want to see if it is possible to fix, or add. First, I want to say that in “The Time” at the end, it has a really cool thing that it does. It puts the letters: D-a-n-c-i-n-g L-i-n-e to spell Dancing Line. Maybe at the end of each level, it could have that, but in different colors maybe. The last thing is that if I want to watch a video to play a level, it won’t work. It says, “video unavailable”. Those are the only things for the negatives. They aren’t really negatives, but I don’t know what else to call them 🙃. Now, on to the positives. I feel that the producer(s) of DancingLine are actually listening to complaints. I have read in the past about “Too many ads” but now, there aren’t any! Which is a good thing. Because now we know that you are listening to suggestions. The only reason I am bringing up this positive is because yesterday, I , for some reason wanted to rate White Tiles 4. As I was looking at the reviews, almost all of them had a complaint, and none of them were suggested or tried! (I gave White Tiles 4 a 1 star rating). Also, the songs are amazing! That is pretty much all I need to say. You should be proud in DancingLine, and many of your other apps. Make more like this!

I have been playing dancing line for a few years now and I love the game! I don’t think I have played a game for this long without getting rid of it! All of the soundtracks are beautiful and the most of the levels are great and challenging, (which I like). Some of your best works in my opinion was the crystal, the maze, and the earth. All had beautiful graphics and the maze is the most unique out of all of them with the twisty turns and all that. Although the game itself is great, some of your new features and levels have let me down. First of all, I don’t like the idea of have to pay actual, literal money to unlock levels. I think that paying diamonds is enough, and that should be the only way, besides free trials. Also, there have been many let downs with levels. I think that holiday ones should only stay around for that holiday and a few days after, because seeing Christmas Eve level in the middle of June is kind of weird. Sailor’s Tale and All About Us we’re just horrible levels in general, and I do not think have the spring before the beginning is a smart idea because it laterally says, “The Beginning”. Also, not a big fan of the Autumn soundtrack, that’s just my opinion though. I think that a little more effort in levels and features could bring back the original Dancing Line everyone loved, and still love. Ahhh, stop, I could’ve dropped my croissant

So, this game is just amazing! I play this game almost all the time. I’ve been putting up with the annoying ads and just ignoring the glitches. However, I just want to rate it a five star, but I can’t. The graphics are amazing, but when it comes to the glitches, to me it’s just plain annoying now. It ruins the game play and it keeps messing me up. One of the levels that had a lot of these was the Legend of Assassin. Sure, it’s amazing, cool graphics, amazing music, and very challenging. But what is also challenging is what I have to go through the glitches. It just keeps messing me up! Also, the Legend of Assassin is one of the hard levels and I have to keep reviving myself to get through it but, the ads just keep popping up left and right. First when I die, then when I need to revive and when I try to start over, there’s on there too. Not only that, the guidance line still requires ads! Too many ads! And one last thing, I got this game when the samurai came out and I didn’t have a chance to play the Despacito and Faded Original. I would have loved to play this but I couldn’t! This was the most disappointing part of this whole game. If these issue was addressed then it would be an amazing game.

Ahhhh! That’s all I want to do! This game is great! The designs are artistic, unique and awesome! The songs are definitely phenomenal. BUT, I have a few problems. First off, the calibration can be off sometimes, I have to use the guide to help me along the path so I can be in tune with the flow. Second, the reason I download DancingLine was because of a demo advertisement. (Good job for reeling me in) The camera was fixed in one place, but in the actual game it’s not. You don’t know how many times I messed up due to bad camera angles. Sometimes I can’t see because the camera is too low at the ground and away from the scene, other times it’s all twisted. It definitely makes it difficult to continue playing when you’re frustrated most of the time from losing and watching ads for a half hour to gain lives... Only time you see it fixed, it’s only when the song/level is wrapping up, but the scenic distractions awaits you. I love the different colors and cool artistic designs, but sometimes the line blends to the same colors as the environment, cant it just be one color? I want to give so much credit to the creativity of DancingLine, I applaud for being so different and fun! I want to soooo bad to buy the no ad/unlimited hearts/ unlimited blocks package and the other packages, BUT, I need it to be easier on my end to have five stars, $4-$6 from me, and to continue playing. I want hear from you guys.

I would like to say that I am an OG player. I played it when the Cathedral was the final level. Back when hearts weren’t in the game. That was the best. So now, y’all are becoming more modern, sure there are a few good levels, the remixes are amazing, but most of them are pretty bad, and lazily made at that. The amount of ads as well, I can barely play the game till an ad pops up. You might as well get one willingly than get one unwillingly. The game no longer seems like a free to play fun time waster. Instead it seems more like a pay to play game when looking at the newer fine print. I think a way to fix this could be to allow us a way to organize our own levels how we want. And lower the ads. If we could add an OG song list ourselves, Put in all our favorite OG levels it would be great. Not only that, but to add more original tracks, rather than Alan walker songs, or poorly made ones. Get more original. Make the game your own. Stop running with the world. Turn the world yourself. Not the other way around. And listen to the reviews. The events need to be toned down as well. They’re blatant and very annoying. The idea of new lines is cool, but stop adding such ridiculous ones. Especially if they don’t fit in. I do have to thank you though for the amazing 3 year anniversary level bringing back the old into a new sense. Thank you, I hope you got all that.

I’ve wanted you to bring back three old levels on dancing line: 1. The beginning (old) I know why you took it but I gotta tell you that just because it was short and not massive doesn’t mean that you have to take it away because everyone loves it and has the same question so please bring back that level 2.the despacito I know the theory of the car running over the line and then the car getting struck by lightning but that doesn’t mean that it’s bad so please bring back that level too 3. The faded - original I know one of the crowns doesn’t have the mark but you don’t have to take it away you can just put a crown Mark like on the floor or on a wall or something like that. That is all I’ve wanted to say... ... I forgot to say that in some levels like the video game and the third anniversary and the racing and the samurai they do not have guidelines so can you please bring back the guidelines and in the racing it shouldn’t be like 30% crown 40% crown 70% crown it should be 10% checkpoint 30% crown 45% checkpoint 60% crown 80% checkpoint 90% crown and that’s all I have to say hope you read this! From: Grant Clayton Thomas. To: The Creators Of Dancing Line one more thing I love through the fog A LOT too!

I first played the game when they added earth, and then I stopped playing it for a while I did not delete DancingLine . I updated and I could not believe what I saw. I’m sure the devs put a whole lot of work into the levels but honestly, I miss how the old levels were much more abstract, now every level is really detailed especially the music. One thing that I strongly dislike is how the game now bombards you with ads. It makes the game almost unplayable than it used to be. Back then, you were able to retry as much as you like as long as you watch an add. Now it forces you to watch like 15 seconds EVERY TIME YOU FAIL, if you want to get 3 crowns of course. As much as I want to play the game, I almost cannot possibly unlock more levels unless I use the rigged spinner that gives you more lives or like 25 gems or whatever. If I want to play a level I have to watch an ad, this keeps repeating with the ad problem. I’m forced to watch an advertisement to play a level, but hey daily levels guys! Am I seriously supposed to play the game like every day if I want a new level cuz that’s just outrageous. A long time ago you were able to play the levels for free, as long as progress the game you would unlock the levels. Maybe it’s me that doesn’t like the change, maybe it’s the developers who made the game the way it is, who knows. I don’t even know if I’m going to play this game anymore honestly.

This is my favorite game. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. In fact, I love it so much that I payed the 6 $ for no ads on both of my devices. (Which I think is too much.) I mean, I understand that they have to make money and all, but I think 6 $ is too much. It doesn’t even get rid of all the ads. It gets rid of pop up ads, yes, but you still have to watch ads to get level up on your gems. And every once in a while there is a small lag. Not too big! But it has cost me the level I was playing a few times. If these two problems could be fixed, I would love it. And I think it would make a big improvement to the game. Otherwise, this game is the best. I could play for hours nonstop! The game is really all about the music. The music is great. And it has really improved my reflexes too! The levels progress and get harder the farther you go along, which is what I always look for in a game. This has bonus challenges too, which I love! This game is a really smart idea, so a thank you to the designers. If the designers of this game have actually taken the time to read this, this game is the best, and I hope you could fix these small problems. Thank you! ☺️❤️

So i wanted to beat it so i could get the points for the thing but i saw that when i tapped nothing happened and i lost and i got so angry and when i finnaly beat that part the same thing happened and i was frustrated and now here i am righting this review about this bug but other than that its a great app i love it and i play it everyday i hope you could make a way how to make your own level and also add a school level cuz i saw the secret in the amusement park ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and i just love your app i hope you can fix the bugs,add a school level and make a way how to creat your own level stay safe
Edit: so about the bug thing with legend of assassins the same thing sometimes happens with The Chinese Garden so i still hope you can fix it and i just really love your OOOO I THINK IM GONNA EXPLODE OF HOW GOOD DancingLine IS 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥well i just hope your app can become more successful and i just cant wait for more updates anyway i hope you stay safe
Edit2: bruh now im starting to think its the game itself cuz i played the Indian journey and guess what... the same thing happened with this bug and its so annoying i swear but can i make the 60% part on the Chinese Garden more easier cuz its very hard and i die there everytime but i hope you can fix it stay safe

I know that’s very high praise but it’s true. It’s builds up to more challenging levels, levels I never thought I’d complete! But now I proudly consider myself a master lol. The levels are all so pretty and you can tell a lot goes into the development of this game. The new fan created level was awesome and now I play it for fun, as sadistic as that sounds. The Halloween ones are adorable, the crystal one is visually stunning, the only one I didn’t like was the Valentine’s Day one lol. Couldn’t listen to that song over and over again. I’m the type of person that needs to complete things as much as I can lol so the fancy crowns was a nice touch, makes me feel special. The only thing I don’t love is the adds, but I consider it justified, they gotta pay their creators, although I personally would rather have paid a flat fee upon purchasing the game, but I know that wouldn’t work for everybody.

Despite how much I love it I do have a minor critique (as with everything,) I think the lessening of how many heart cubes you get for watching an ad is a bit frustrating, obviously I’ll live but it does get a bit tedious when you keep getting the “no video available message.”

Where do I start? I love this game! I’ve been playing it for about 3 years and the levels never get old. They are challenging yet feasible and the graphics make the game more interesting. I like the idea that we don’t get unlimited cubes because that would make the game boring. The treasure chests that unlock new levels are really cool. It would be nice if they changed it back so that if we do a free trial and complete the level with three crowns and all 10 diamonds that we would unlock the level anyway. I also like the option to watch videos and get free stuff. The free stuff include gems, cubes, and checkpoint lives. That doesn’t annoy me. However, what really annoys me is that the game is FILLED with ads that always slow down my phone and make the game glitchy. I’m not talking about the video ads, I’m talking about the pop-ups. I lose a lot of my cubes because the game one run at an efficient speed. Lastly, I wish there was a way we could save our data. Recently, I had to reset my phone and Apple ID and when I redownloaded DancingLine , all my data was gone and I had to restart. Other than the ads, glitches, and data, I love this game. I especially love the music because it’s unique and the company didn’t steal anyone else’s ideas.

So this is an amazing game and I like the music and the graphics. I would have a made it a five star game but I didn’t for a few reasons. 1.) sometimes when I tap it won’t respond and it makes me crash which is really annoying when I’m almost finished with a song. 2.) there are way too many ads 3.) Why is the roller coaster part on the amusement park SO DANG HARD. I’ve tried like one hundred thousand times and I still can not get past it. Could you please add a checkpoint or a crown like halfway thru it? If you could that would be awesome. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you consider my suggestion. Overall it’s a really great game. Also, just wondering, why did you take off the faded and not alone? This were like my favorite levels and I deleted the game and when I came back on they were nowhere to be found…. … funny thing is, after I wrote this review I managed to pass the roller coaster part. But I would still like to have a checkpoint or crown.
I also know how a lot of people don’t like how the camera is at weird angles and shakes a lot, but I really like it because the game is supposed to be challenging.
Sorry this was such a long review and thanks for reading all the way to the end 🙃

The graphics and music is amazing. The concept for the game is great and the gameplay is simply beautiful. Though a little difficult at first I absolutely love it! Maybe teach me a little better tempo along the way. I love the way the level gets more intense when the song does, and the way that if you wanted to, you could even play this blind. (I tried it a couple times with decent success.) Yet the graphics and animation is wonderful! I suggest DancingLine to anyone who likes music or basically anyone at all.

Update: I'm very happy with how far I got in the game and the updates are brilliant! I'm still searching everywhere for a soundtrack of this this. I would pay for it! The new maps are even more awesome and amazing, and while I love the new cube options, some of them distract me a little so I don't often use them. I am easily distracted all the time so that's okay.
Another Update: The producers are never ceasing to impress. Now, there are a few levels I don’t really like, but there are so many to chose from it doesn’t matter! I love the newest one’s graphics (like The West and The Savana) the soundtracks are still great and have more variety then before.

It’s sad to see a beloved game stopped being worked on, but I will never forget the wonderful memories I’ve made with this game. When I first heard and downloaded the game around 3 years ago. I was immediately impressed and addicted. The music, level design, and graphics worked so well together to make an amazing rhythm mobile game. I was always waiting for the next level to be released and watched a lot of the videos the community made about their custom levels, challenges, and memes. I remember the first version of the clock/time? When it was called The Beginning and was like 5 seconds long. But then during a Halloween event, you guys brought it back, updated, and extended the level and I’m still disappointed that I never brought The Despacito or The Faded Original before they went away permanently, but I remember their demo modes being fun. I even remembered that the CHALLENGES tab was supposed to be a multiplayer thing and then The Piano, The Winter, and The Faded were added to see what it would be like. I hope you guys realize how much this game meant to me and when I heard the news that Cheetahmobile got banned? by Google. I thought “might this be the end of one of my childhood games?” And sadly, I was correct. I hope Cheetahmobile and Boombit continue to make great games in the future, but I just wanted to say. Thank you Dancing Line! 😊💖
