Game Review
A truly beautiful game. Music Catch is one of those games that don’t really have a genre. It is a game based around the simplest of simple mechanics to collect shapes, there isn't much out there that's quite like it. What's more, the game can be as relaxing or challenging as you want it to be. All you need to do is move your cursor, hover over the shapes that pour forth from a rotating white line.

The piano will play heartwarming classical music, the kind that relaxes you and is perfect for stress relief. The shapes will appear in sync with the music. These shapes come in a few colors, but it is mainly made of green/blue shapes which worth points. Yellow shapes are multiplier and make your cursor grow larger. Red shapes are bad as they will eat away half of your multiplier and seriously shrink both your size and confidence. Lastly, the purple shape is what I call 'Purple Power'; sucking all the good shapes and inject massive score.

The immense amount of enjoyment that overwhelms you from listening to a piano musical piece cannot be replicated. The music is excellent and I like how the shapes go at different heights and speeds depending on the dynamic nature of the song. This is just one of those things that make you feel very content with the world and everything in it. Self note, do not attempt with laptop touchpad. :)
