NEW GOAL: get three stars on all levels! I do. what now? Perfect all levels! Big mistake.. GAAAAH ANGRY THE GAME IS NOT PEACEFUL. MADE ME ANGRY FOR 6 HOURS! Highly recommend if you want to lose sanity. Good game!

It's so refreshing being able to play basically a "Rythm Heaven" game again after such a long time. The simplicity of it paired with the lighthearted hummor and wholesome vibes makes for a very relaxing game to unwind with after a long day. I was stomping with my feet to the beat the whole way through. A very nice, albeit short, feelgood game :)

Melatonin is such a beautiful, peaceful, pastel rhythm game. Pro: Improved the timing of my circadian rhythm. Con: Did not put me to sleep. 6/10

The game is really good. I like the songs and the games are fun, but it's just way too short. Still recommend it though, but you should get it on sale.
