    Tadpole Treble is clearly a passion project by the developers BitFinity and this shines through in every aspect. It’s rare that you come across a game with educational undertones that doesn’t instantly come across as one. Moreover one so wonderfully presented as this.

    Tadpole Treble is a game for children, specifically for the child that still exists in everyone. It uses music as a mechanic in a way that I haven’t really seen before. The excellent soundtrack, fun gameplay, and great level editor makes Tadpole Treble a game for the “kidult” in all of us.

    Tadpole Treble is a great example of how to blend art with gameplay; each enhances the other and elevates the game to something beyond just a fun distraction. If you love music, (and who doesn’t?) you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not checking this game out.

    A truly revolutionary take on rhythm platforming games. It’s got a fun story that is expertly told through the game’s dialogue, animations, and most of all music.

    Tadpole Treble is a game built for music lovers by music lovers. Its solid gameplay forms a perfect foundation for the music, which is the real star of the game, to take center stage. The level editor, however, is what gives Tadpole Treble real staying power. The type of feature that could make this a sort of cult classic, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing YouTube videos of levels built in Tadpole Treble. If you like music, you should pick it up.

    If you love music, as a composer or just as a fan, Tadpole Treble will be a pleasure from start to finish.

    all at the budget price of 7.99. I got an early copy gifted to me on steam,
    as the game was delayed to may 4th. Still amazing and worth the cash.
