Bom jogo, principalmente para quem gosta de puzzles. Começa fácil mais depois fica bem complicado
It's kinda a rhythm game but not really. Grid based game where goal is to create a self sustaining loop in a network to deliver music to a cat. Love the minimalist art style. Unique puzzle mechanic that I haven't played at least. Anyway, stop reading this review and give the game a try.
Neat little puzzle game based around sound. Really enjoyed it and there was probably enough content for the price. Some interfaces were a bit out of sync (like an afterthought) and some things missing but it seems to be the first game from the developer. Also pruchased this to support a South African developer. Would also have appreciated Steam Deck support as it is a small game and would run well there, but you can't have everything.

I like the game a lot but it feels like more could have been added. Only 60 levels which I would have liked to have been closer to 100. Admittingly, those 60 levels do become progressively harder early on, so don't think you will complete the game too quickly. Make sure you buy it when discounted. Release was Feb 2026, but last update was August 2025, so I guess it's most probably abandoned now and no further development will occur, I hope I'm wrong. Using trial and error can be a strategy to solving levels. I used this strategy when I had solved half of a puzzle but was stuck on completing it. Maybe by putting a mechanism in place, this could have been prevented, forcing the player to solve the puzzle instead of methodically trying different combinations until one works. I've seen this done in a steam game called 'Patterna' where the developer prevented players from brute force puzzle solving. Not sure how it would have been done in this game but think it could have been achieved, but then it might have made the game too hard. It does require some skill and intelligent thought when using trial and error, you do need to understand what your doing. Steam workshop doesn't have a lot of community created puzzles yet, hopefully that increases as more people buy the game. So has potential to get more content through the community. The editor looks good and is nice and intuitive to use. Will be interesting to see who the player base will be, Musicians or puzzle solvers. Minor criticisms aside, I am enjoying the game and recommend it to others.
Fun game
Really enjoyed this puzzling experience. The levels start easy but get more complicated and challenging as you go along. The feeling of solving a puzzle and getting the music playing just right is incredibly satisfying! _Especially_ the ones where completing the puzzle triggers the drum loop to kick in. Occasionally I felt like I reached a solution more by luck than judgement (as the puzzles get more intricate it's sometimes hard to keep everything that's going on in your head), but for the most part the game does a great job of leading you into the concepts of how to connect up the various mechanisms to make them work in logically consistent ways. When hooking up a very abstract puzzle like this starts to feel intuitive, it's the mark of excellent game design in my book! I had a go with the sandbox and I feel like there's a lot that could be done with it. Right now everything I make sounds rubbish but I suspect that's because I don't quite have the right brain for it. Maybe if I just try one more loop...
кайфовая игра, жалко проходиться быстро, надеюсь новые уровни появяться и снова куплю
A great puzzle game. Fun, satisfying and relaxing!
Cadence is a gem. It's charming, challenging and rewarding, but it's also elegant and original in a way that modern games...aren't. It feels like it was made with love, like it says in the intro.
What an incredibly beautiful and considered puzzle game. The style, sound design, and game play and thought out and delightful.
