About

Rytmos is a relaxing puzzle game, where you create music by solving mazes. Travel from planet to planet and discover the music hidden inside. Solve the six puzzles on the sides of the planet by drawing a path that ends where it started, creating a loop. Hear the music slowly unfold as the loops generate unique musical sequences that layers together with the rest of the planet's loops. Play on top of the music from the planet with a great selection of fun unlockable musical toys. The universe is full of cubic planets, which all contains six maze-puzzles to be solved. The path in the maze is drawn by swiping the cursor in a given direction, and it will draw as long as there is a surface underneath. By hitting so-called sound emitters on its way, the cursor activates different tones, percussion elements or musical chords. Each time you solve a new side of a planet a new musical loop is added to the previous one, revealing more and more of a musical composition.

    Rytmos is a fun puzzle game. Regenerating the different planets, and making songs give the player a satisfying feeling. A little more of a challenge or maybe some different modes would have been great. But overall Rytmos is a great addition to any puzzle fans library.

    Its puzzle gameplay is perfect for pick up and play sessions in between larger games. The puzzles made me feel smart and changed up the gameplay frequently enough to not get stale. However, what made this game truly a standout was that it not just used music as a way to enhance gameplay, but to actually teach me more about the music used.

    Rytmos is short and sweet, and its minimalist visuals and zen-like beats left me feeling warm. Its puzzles match everything else the game is doing, and it all works together well to highlight the music, its inspirations’ place in history, and the instruments that create it.

    Rytmos is a meditative music-making experience with a specific goal in mind – sharing the music of the world, with the world. With well-designed puzzles and diverse influences, it’s worth the play if you’re keen on a relaxing, musical experience.

    What a delight. This puzzle game strung across the stars has led to playlists, emails to old friends, sharing, borrowing. To wondering how disparate things connect and how they came to be.

    Rytmos is a veritable delight for the music-loving puzzle gamer, with a solid few hours of engaging gameplay, insightful descriptions, and vivid colour. There could be the option of more challenge, and percussion instruments don’t quite live up to their melodious counterparts, but all-in-all, Rytmos is a jam I’m going to have on repeat for a long time.
