It's a great game, but the ads are just so, so annoying. They're super long and if you try to hit back or otherwise try to skip the ad it just takes you to the play store like you clicked on it. Even after the ad is over it just stays on the screen making you click it like 8 times before you can close it. If this sounds like a review for the ads instead of the game, it's because I spent more time in the ad screen than the game screen.

Love this game! It is super simplistic, having 2 balls dodging obstacles, but the story is just so GOOD! The concept is amazing, the soundtrack is great, and there are absolutely no flaws to the game whatsoever! Only thing is that it's hard. It's harder than most games on the app store today. But it is rewarded with an extreme sense of pride and accomplishment. This is an an awesome game and I would totally recommend it to players who have the patience and skill to do this. Amazing job! \(^w^)/

Beautiful game that is well crafted. These simple controls make for an easy to learn yet hard to master mechanic. Weather once you beat a level it feels very rewarding, and the narrator's voice/background music are very soothing. Over all this is a perfect game. I already beat it but I refuse to uninstall it because of how good it is. Very relaxing.

When I downloaded the game I had no expectation. Just some random phone game with no real dynamic or appeal, and the concept was very simple. But I immediately fell in love. The musics great, the voice over is surprisingly well done, and the mechanics are so well implemented. New things every section and I genuinely cracked a smile and was shocked whenever something new happened. And the overlying DABDA theme made me cry. I don't leave reviews for games, but I had to for this.

This game has a very cool concept that is executed well. However there are a few suggestions I have to make the game much more enjoyable. Firstly I would suggest the addition of graphical effects. Adding a filter or a bit of color to the obstacles would make the game much more pleasing to look at. Secondly customisation. The user is quite limited when it comes to the color or style of the objects. Skins or simple color customisation that can be unlocked overtime would make the game 10x repayable

Duet is quite the surreal experience. From the music, to the timing based gameplay, to the dialogue, Deut is... interesting to say the least. (Jeez, I sound like a game critic.) The gameplay is also very fun, and very satisfying. The game just hits that bullseye where the difficulty is low enough to not be unfair and to not be about memorizing obsticals, but also high enough to be a challenge. The adds are also few and far between, something you can say very little about mobile games nowadays.

The whole game is amazing. It starts off with very simple, but then after a few basic levels the difficulty curve starts. It is very hard and is not recommended for casual people, and the little story is very good, music is beautiful, and if you buy the super cheap DLC, (I haven't) you receive a MASSIVE amount of content and no ads. I already finished this game due to me having lots of time lately, but is very hard nonetheless. Also if you didn't know the chapter names are the 7 stages of grief.

I honestly have never rated a game before, but this game is just so good that I have to. I love the gameplay and the story/narration, but I think the best part of the game is the music. It just seems to capture the mood perfectly. The levels are hard enough so that you feel great after completing them without being impossible. One thing I could recommend is a thing that lets you watch yourself completing the level once you are done, so you can see the beauty of the orbs spinning perfectly better

This game is flawless. It brings challenge, it's relaxing, and it's never repetitive. I'm in wave 600+ in the continuance challenge. So many challenges, and the paid add-ons are so cheap and worth it. Such therapeutic gameplay, and the soundtrack is so original. Best of all, there is no lag, loading, or really any stutter in anything, and my 90Hz display just makes this simple game look like a AAA title 😸

The whole game is bloody brilliant! From the music, the unpredictable obstacles, the soft voice at the beginning of each level, and the messages she says to the colour scheme and the smooth movement Duet is the perfect game. Each level is impossibly challenging, yet perfectly simple to complete. I have never seen such a game as this, it is everything a mobile game should be. I just wish more levels had free access.

In some ways, this is the perfect game. Silky smooth, simple to learn hard to master, and the progression happens in the player: much of the time, when I finally make it through a level it's because I am now newly *capable* of making it through the level. The level started out basically impossible, but ends up easy. (OK, not later levels! )

The graphics are minimal, the rules are simple, but the gameplay is addicting. I love this game. The only complaint is the buggy split screen mode. When I try to play it split screen, it seems the hitbox is misplaced, so you can't play it or quit it in split screen. *update* the hitbox seems to be fixed. 5 stars.

Fantastic game that has great music, great design, and great narration. As well, its difficulty level is perfect. Well, nearly perfect. The only problem with this game's difficulty is that there is one obstacle that is infinitely harder than all the other obstacles. I am talking about the long bar followed by the short bar. Way harder than the other obstacles, and makes me want to rage quit. Would elaborate further, but there's a character limit. Acceptance had the best difficulty, loved it.

Similar to Smash Hit in its simple elegance and progressive continuum of change, but what Duet offers is something far more transcendental. If the user falls in sync with the peaceful, yet challenging, environment, and surrenders to the spoken mantras, he or she may succeed at more than just this game. Thank you Duet for the most inspiring game I've ever played.

I really like it its simple and there's not that many ads. I like how the levels increasing get complex but at the same time keep to the core mechanics. I think that when you die and splatter on things that the colors should mix into purple if they overlap. Love the rotating type movement it's not very common and a little hard to get used to at the start but becomes very smooth once you are familiar with it

First off, this game is very VERY difficult. It goes through all the stages of grief and attempt to make you feel them as your going through it (Which it's somewhat successful at) The ads aren't too constant at first until you get further on as it starts to give more ads. This can be fixed by paying 2.99$ + tax though (Also giving extra content) Each level has some text creating a story. There are 2 DLC packs, one of them is alot bigger though. Pretty easy to learn, but it get hard rapidly. 5/5!

A challenging, unique fun game. Planks fall horizontally & vertically from the top. Object is to control the paintballs, to turn at right time & direction that will lets the planks drop without hitting the balls & getting splattered with paint. Timing is crucial. The hardest part is learning the controls. They are set to make a complete turn if you make a mistake so your not able to correct it for the next one falling & have to start all over each time, til perfect, can't move on. Still,

Simple concept with excellent execution. Every element works to create a cohesive experience. The controls are simple and the levels evolve to a satisfying difficulty that will challenge your reflexes and timing. Along with the quotes in the beginning, and the hypnotic background and music, the game is just flawless with endless replayability. It's great for a break from a difficult assignment you don't want to lose focus on and to keep those mental reflexes sharp.

Finished the story and loved it so much I got the paid version. Well worth the 2.99 to not have ads in between games and plus you get the daily challenges, nightly challenges, etc. and those are cool. One of my favorite mobile games ever. And the music is awesome. The whole package (music, challenges, themes, etc) is more of an experience than a game. Great job.

If you love well-designed, minimalistic, skill-based twitch arcade games, this should be on the top of your list! Once you've cleared and mastered the main levels (easier said than done), every paid DLC adds a new, mind-bending mechanic to up the ante! An added bonus is that people who watch you play will think you're some kind of mastermind, but that's besides the point.
