Mini-Review
It’s clearly still got work to do, but it’s a great idea and you can have fun conducting your own music. I had some trouble with the UI and the baton system in general. Cueing players and keeping the beat didn’t feel very natural even though I have a lot of musical experience. I feel that it could be a more intuitive, but I still recommend it overall. The price needs to drop though. This feels more like a $10-15 experience.
Due to our current backlog, we will be publishing mini-reviews for some experiences. Once we are caught-up, we will update these with full reviews.
