Genre:Music, Role Playing Release:Jul 12, 2016 Updated:Jul 25, 2024 Version:2.31.0 Size:1.5 GB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (10) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #2 DonnyDJ76, Jul 12, 2016 I purchased Lanota and I played for about 55 minutes. If you are a fan of rhythm games, this one is spectacular. There is only one optional $3.99 in app purchase which opens up the rest of the song content which seems to be about half the game. One hundred GC achievement points as well as numerous leaderboards. There are no energy timers, no ads, etc. The gameplay and controls are spot on. You can get three different ratings after each beat: Harmony, tune, and fail. The highest rating you can get in a song is an L. You can achieve perfection purified but that's if you don't lose any combos and you get all "harmonys." It took me awhile to master the first song on easy, but again the controls are perfect. For each song there are 3 different difficulty levels. The story isn't really necessary. The detail of polish that went into Lanota is astounding, including graphics, sounds, production values, etc.. If you enjoy rhythm games that have been produced by Rayark, this one is a no brainer. The tutorial explains it all, and to see the actual gameplay, someone will probably post it here. This is the type of game that rhythm lovers should support. Quite a tiny price to be pId for such an excellent premium package.

Here is the first few levels gameplay. Hochy Active Member Mar 13, 2013 35 0 0 #4 Hochy, Jul 13, 2016 Better than expected...and I was damn hyped about Lanota! Well spent 6 bucks! Very nice spot between Deemo (story&atmosphere) and Cytus (great gameplay). Do you want feel maximum fairy tale out of this game? Play "The Lonely Wolf"...pure bliss!

We are already preparing for the next update of new chapter, hope all progress be smooth and fine Feel free to post any questions, I'll give my answer as soon as possible (or give you a hint, if the question is directed to hidden feature) All feedback appreciated of course! forsakenxe Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 709 0 16 #6 forsakenxe, Jul 13, 2016 Is there only asian music? I really do not like that sadly. Game looks fun from the video though Raysol Games Well-Known Member Jul 1, 2016 78 0 0 #7 Raysol Games, Jul 13, 2016 Last edited: Jul 13, 2016 I got this. for great fun & art. but I would like to see the story pic when i was playing music circle. It is a little monotonous to focus on the circle right now. but that might be too bothering if you do that. maybe you can try it. tekchic Well-Known Member Jun 5, 2009 452 29 28 Female Software Developer Phoenix, AZ http://www.tekchic.com #8 tekchic, Jul 13, 2016 Watched the gameplay video -- this is REALLY beautiful and sounds fantastic. I'm tempted. Although I also have Deemo and have played it only two or three times, bought Lost in Harmony and still haven't played it -- I'm bad about that. I think I may need to buy this one just to try it out - it won me over with gorgeous artwork and great music (esp when I had my can headphones on here at work) ;-) L0ck Well-Known Member Jan 29, 2015 212 2 0 #9 L0ck, Jul 14, 2016 One of the producers, 3R2, is an amazing talent and a guy I follow on Facebook.

For those who'd love to see the background art while playing, we have an option for you: Go to "General option" in the menu, adjust the "Opacity" option: And voila! you can see through the Notalium tuner a.k.a. plate at the transparency/opacity you've set. (The center gear and judgeline circle are not affected) May not be beneficial to note-reading though, especially when you set the opacity to 0% (100% transparency) Tip: tap on the title of each option to see corresponding description! As always, more suggestions, feedback and reviews are welcomed! nenastya Well-Known Member Dec 2, 2014 65 0 6 Female Russia #11 nenastya, Jul 22, 2016 Thanks a lot to Noxy Games for such a wonderful experience I got! I'll definitely support the game by buying anything and telling anyone to try it! In fact, the gameplay is much more interesting and challenging than in Deemo, the music is brilliant and pleasant for demanding ears. Moreover the gameplay is SMOOTH, I still use ipad mini 1st gen (I'm so old school ) so it's really important. And I have a question - are you going to release soundtrack album in iTunes? Because I like listening to music from rhythm games not only while playing them Julibea Member Jul 8, 2016 18 0 0 Project manager of mobile game "Lanota" by Noxy Ga Taipei, Taiwan http://www.noxygames.com/lanota/ #12 Julibea, Jul 24, 2016 Hi thanks for your feedback! iPad mini and iPhone 4s are our most dated testing device (for now), iPad 2 should also be fine; Glad to know you're enjoying the game, now we know all the optimization works make sense For the soundtrack album, we are already discussing but there's yet a determined date for it's release. Will announce on our website and via official social media channels when we're ready! imdakine1 Well-Known Member Aug 23, 2011 1,228 22 38 #13 imdakine1, Aug 2, 2016 Seems intriguing but my back log of games is waaaay to much for now. Glad to see independent developers out of Taiwan and wish you well with this game! I'll hopefully get it on the future.

Come back anytime We are already working on the first major update - a new chapter that is - which will take a while since there are music production and illustration and things to do (already have my fingers crossed) Julibea Member Jul 8, 2016 18 0 0 Project manager of mobile game "Lanota" by Noxy Ga Taipei, Taiwan http://www.noxygames.com/lanota/ #15 Julibea, Aug 7, 2016 1.0.1 update Hi, we had a minor update a couple of days ago containing the following fix/features: 1. Add accidental-click-proof to pause button during the gameplay >> Tap on the [Pause] button on the upper-left corner twice consecutively to pause the track. However if you hit on the physical buttons on your device of activated a gesture there's nothing we could do 2. Add a detailed calibration page in general option >> Go to [Menu] > [General Option] > [Calibration] > [Detail] (on the right), and have a what-you-see-is-what-you-get calibration to the gameplay (see picture) This is mainly for the players who consider their devices have visual-audio latency issue, and we add the detailed page because we did receive several feedback asking for this. 3. Improve gameplay mechanical playability >> We decided to adjust something about note mechanical in the to make it better. 4. Bug fix >> The programmers did some tricks. They fixed bugs that I didn't even know they existed. The 1.0.1 update is already available on the iTunes App Store. Should be fine, but if any problems occurred, let me know and I'll see if I can help (or more works should be done in the next update). Thanks!

I'm here to tell you that, our 1.1.0 update is on the App Store now, and we are having a 50% OFF sale campaign now until October 30 24:00 (UTC+8). (about 25 hours to go!) The update includes the contents of a new chapter: Main story chapter II Dissonance in the Farm Village which continues from the end of Main story chapter 1, cloud save feature, new difficulty "Master" and reassigned the difficulty numbers for each chart. For players that enjoyed the rhythm game and story in the debut release (see official Touch Arcade review here), they will not be disappointed by the new chapter: Dissonance in the Farm Village in which Fisica and Ritmo arrives at a mysterious village with windmill, greenhouse, water wheel and garden maze; the mystery will be left for the players to uncover. The cloud save feature is for players who want to store their progress on iCloud (if there's anyone using an android device reading this, that would be Google Play Service in your case). A new difficulty Master is also added, and the charts will be renumbered into 1 to 15 instead of the previous 1 to 10, to give the players a clearer indication about different difficulties between charts. We added a new chart for each stage for the existing chapters, although not necessarily in difficulty Whisper, Acoustic, Ultra or Master; this is for the level design and balancing of the game. As usual, feel free to ask any questions and leave any thoughts! Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #17 Misguided, Oct 29, 2016 Last edited: Oct 29, 2016 I didn't pick this up at launch only because I was worried it might be too difficult. So glad I picked it up now. I've only played the prologue, but this is the first game I've seen since Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents (aside from Guitar Hero and Rock Band) that actually gives you the sense that you are performing with the music rather than just tapping a bunch of buttons. For me, that's what games like this should be about, not simply tests of reflexes. Gorgeous visuals. Beautiful music. Just wonderful. My only nitpick is that the camera movements when manipulating the wheel (e.g. Zooming in and out) could be smoother. The feel a bit jerky at times, especially when moving short distances. Hasn't made me nauseous, though, so it isn't awful.

The first climax of Lanota will be at the end of Main story chapter I, I hope this game is good enough for you to get there Also one thing I should apologize is that we found the price setting in iTunes Connect mysteriously went wrong a couple of hours ago and the price drop accidentally ended earlier than we've expected (we think the Store's having some problem since iTunes Connect keeps acting funny since last week); it seems to be back now, and should continue to be 0.99 USD to download for the following hours. Really sorry about that! candysprinkelz New Member Jan 9, 2017 1 0 0 #19 candysprinkelz, Jan 10, 2017 Hello! I just started playing this a few days ago, and I absolutely love it! I'm just getting into rhythm games, this is my second after Cytus. I was wondering, will there be a chapter 3, or is the game finished? Also, is there any more news on the soundtrack release? And would it be possible to get an English translation of the lyrics? (Not rerecording the whole song, of course- in text, I mean.) Thank you so much!

The story does not end at Main story Ch. 2, and Main Story Ch. 3 is already under development. Before that is finished, we will release an update soon containing Side Story Ch. 2 and Expansion chapters; and by "soon" I mean within January. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter for announcements! We would love to release an original soundtrack in the future, but sadly I can't tell you when The lyrics may possibly be released with the soundtrack.
