User Rating:Resonance for iOS looks cooler than what it actually is. But it sounds beautiful.
If I were to say what game Resonance is close… Maybe I’ll have to go with Shift. Your goal in Resonance is to go from start to finish in a huge amount of levels. You do so by jumping around and solving the kind of “musical” puzzles.
Your character can collect different-coloured notes. Red, blue, green, yellow. Each note makes disappear blocks of the same colour. Using this small intelligence piece, you can go from A to B, with a little thinking.
Each level in Resonance can be finished in a set amount of time, getting you 3, 2 or 1 star. Or 0 stars, but this won’t happen to you for a while.
Is Resonance for iOS a good game? Well, kind of. It is innovative. Its graphics look cute. Background music and sounds feel special. But I still think the game lacks “something”. Try for yourself and tell me. Also, the app is universal, working as well in an iPhone as in an iPad
In short: Resonance for iOS is a decent game. Since it is free with in-app purchase, I say: try for yourself!

Resonance is a stylish platform puzzle game originally created during the Global Game Jam in 2010. Your goal in each level is to reach the end sign. Collect music notes to resonate the blocks and manipulate the levels.
