Comment by Juror

By linking the world of real instruments and the app, It’s nice to learn playing the ukulele and guitar, while having fun. Musicians, animals and landscapes that appear in the game of the app were drawn with retro 3D polygons and has a warm atmosphere. The idea of assembling a wooden kit, paint it with your favorite pattern, and make your own guitar or ukulele, are combining the fun of handmade is a new idea.
I think it’s a Digital ehon that creates new joy that never existed before.
