Bruh

Doesn’t even work
I’m trying to do multiplayer in sonolus and it just bugs out and don’t work then second when I’m trying to do the link I did it twice after those times it still didn’t work so I reinstalled the app AND IT STILL DOESN’T WORK the game is a big fat scam.
Only frustrating game
The game doesn’t work like fix your game that’s why project senki is better than this idiot of a game
I CAN'T PLAY
ok so I've been seeing people play this game and j really wanted to play it but when I download it and tried to make an account IT WON'T LET ME like why can't I just get a tutorial on how to actually play instead of looking on the internet praying it would work
Better when it was in its frist stages
I got this app 2 years ago before it even came onto the App Store now it’s just gone downhill I just want to play rhythm games with out ads and loading screens but now it just has to load for like 10 sec there’s an ad every time you play I just want the old apk files back this app suckks
its good but…
tHE PJSK EMULATOR is freAkING buhROkEn
hate it
it was so bad it didn’t let me listen to none of the songs😤🤬👿
Appropriate advertisements
Can we normalize putting appropriate ads please? I keep getting advertisements on 16+ web toons and I'm not so happy to see that especially when I'm not in the mood for ads that pop up every time I try to goto the menu from a song.
Garbage.
Speaks for itself
.
ruined chart cyanvyas, i loved that and now i can’t play it. thanks a lot
:(
I cant Even make an account I Need to sign it. :(
Alan
Please fix the game when ever I play the notes act weird please fix it
It’s lowk boring
I have played PJSK for years and am pretty good at it. So no, that is not why I’m saying it’s boring. It’s boring because of the shape of how you’re meant to play it. Y’know, in the hexagon. It’s also annoying to try to adapt to. I do like the songs on it, but I’m just going to have to say it’s boring unless you’ve been playing it for years.
Ads
Too many ads. Unplayable.
Genuinely sad
Okay so like, I was super excited for the game to come out cuz I reallly wanted to play custom charts and I was hearing a lot of good things, but HOLY LAG. I know this was an issue in the past, including the whole Cyanvas server fiasco, but this game is gonna pmo AGAIN. For context, I sometimes use this iPad when my phone is dead, and I don’t have cyanvas or any other server full of other songs other than Horizon and Multiplayer on this device. So, I rely on multiplayer server to find good songs to play. But whenever I put a song into favs, i can only play 2 seconds of it and it just…stops. This even happens before I download it, like when I’m playing the song from the server yk… But sometimes, if I’m REALLY lucky, I’ll be able to play half the song. HALF. What a JOKE. but yeah, totally unplayable now. Idk if it does that on my phone too because I don’t use multiplayer on my phone soooo….🤷
(Edit: I found out that the whole thing just ends when I miss/ break my combo once. ONCE BRO. TS ISNT FAIR. WHATS WRONGGGG SONOLUS???)
(Edit 2: It does this on Horizon too??? Bro wth.)

Why is the damn shape a hexagon. I also can't even tell where I'm supposed to play at. Just make the HUD flat and straight and NOT a damn hexagon
man…
The game keeps pausing me when I flick
Sonolus
No clue how to get in,no instructions,and no signs of how to play a song at all,1 star
TERRIBLE
THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE HONESTLY. How do people even play this game bro, give up on video game mak8ng and get a job 🥹
I would give you a 0 but I can only give you a 1
Don’t even wast your time on this game and you have to buy premium for add free and it is just a waste of money
Just no
Glitchy, looks like a ripoff pjsk, to hard, genuinely stupid
terrible
ads, i lose hp for literally no reason
Sonolus do better
Sonolus I’ve been waiting for about one hour to play a song. It keeps saying error when nothing is wrong. I’m really sorry for saying this just please fix this
Bugs I think? Idk
The game itself is great, but there is one thing that ticks me off, and it’s where you click on a song, and the background doesn’t load. and it says failed to connect check Internet or something like that. If you could fix that it would mean a lot to me and probably others who are dealing with this. If I wake up one day and get to play any song I’d like, I’ll be soooooo happy
bro
Ok so basically I usually play sonolus on a different mobile device so I tried playing on my moms phone cuz I forgot to bring mine and for some reason every single note was a good :/ no I’m not bad at the game like every single note I hit is good and it’s so annoying because I’m playing and every note would be like “late great early grate perfect good good good bad good good late perfect good” like I gen ain’t bad at the game I fc jinsei expert and I can clear kaijuu and it’s pmo
Its a good game but..
Wonderful game but its not my device but A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT of people are complaining about the same mistake which has been happening to me also no matter how hard I try it always says “Miss” or some other bs. Just play pjsk is better.
The game isn’t bad or good
The game is fine in general but for some reason the timing is so bad. Not to be rude but it makes my gameplay super bad not to mention that the people who make the charts go so off with the notes.
The notes cannot be processed😔
I try to tap the notes and I’m not able to tap them, when I try tapping it doesn’t work even when it’s on the line ( not over it ) overall it’s satisfying and cool but I’ll leave the game for a bit bc idk what’s going on.
Kinda bad…
The game includes highly annoying sound effects that distract from the song, and it’s totally off rhythm too
i don't really like the game
most of the charts are really offbeat and there's way too many Ada throughout the whole game.
Needs fixing
Sometimes when you hit the note, it doesn’t press and I know that it’s not my phone or my skills acting up because i played these songs in pjsk.
Rigged
Ive been playing this for months and kept having this same problem. I tapped on it at the right time but it says it as a miss. Fix your game
