If you're the developer of Boogie Loops and you're reading this, I don't want you to feel discouraged. This title has not gotten great reviews (including from me) but I don't want you to think that you did a bad job. You made a solid and somewhat intriguing music tracker, complete with fun animations and graphics. It's a solid piece of software. I use the words "software" and "title" though, because it's not a game, and I think there lies the problem. This is one of the first four games given away to all Playdate owners and thus is destined to be picked up, tried out, and within five minutes put down again by 99% of players. I frankly don't really know what I'd do with a music tracker. They seem neat enough, but playing around making beats isn't really something I'm interested in, especially on a platform like this. For some people though, they'll get a kick out of this, and I think those people will enjoy what you've made. For me personally though, it didn't leave much of an impression. Also you should've used the crank somehow.
