Solve logic puzzles and spend time with your feline friend

Solving each thoughtful puzzle gradually unlocks beautiful music, which gently awakens your philosophical cat friend, Ren. As someone who loves both cats and music, this game immediately caught my attention! Plus, the puzzles become increasingly difficult, ensuring you’ll stay engaged.

You can compose full tracks using the level editor and more

Plus, the game includes a robust level editor with tools for creating music. You can compose full songs with up to four tracks using the game’s tiles and a visual sequencer. It’s amazing to have this level of musical creation available on a mobile device.

This game looks really good, especially considering it’s been made by one person over the last ten years. You can tell a lot of work went into it, from the cute, simple graphics to features like Puzzle and Sandbox modes. What’s really cool is its powerful logic system – you can use it to make basic designs or even complex musical machines.

Cadence is now available on iOS and Steam! You can download it from the App Store and try it out before you buy the full game. We haven’t announced an Android release date yet, but keep an eye out for updates!
