Today was a good day--I was able to be alone for my breaks and actually get some games in mwahaha. Anyway: Wow, impressive honestly for such a goofy idea. The sound is solid; the sprites are good and funny with their actual faces on it; and some of the gameplay is a lot of fun. That being said, these type games--where it almost feels like a minigame collection--struggle to "catch" me. And some, I just simply didn't like. I completed 3 of the "worlds"/gameplays, but didn't want to continue. Especially that darn frogger-esque part (thank goodness you can at least shoot away the obstacles heh) when returning with the microphone as the singer. If you're a big Journey fan, or just looking for a taste of multiple different solid Atari action gameplay styles, this is a good go-to. Otherwise, skippable. (Still, worth a playtest tho! I might just be getting a bit sick of Atari action games, so take my view with a grain of salt--this truly is impressive with its sprites, sound, and execution of the game.)
