Played this on my deck and kinda liked it, but the environments are just soooooo incredibly drab. I know this game is from 2013 but that doesn't really excuse that.

I got it for PS3 with Plus. This game is hard. But somehow, I was addicted to it for a few days there. I'll probably never beat it.

Had loads of fun with this. It was like being in a weird rhythmic trance where I was capable of achieving impossible feats of movement.
