Utterly Uninspiring
Came for kind of cool art and didn't stay because I don't care enough to perfect rhythms I will never play again JUST GO AND LEARN DRUMS OR SOMETHING IDK PROBABLY MORE FUN HONESTLY.

The only actual interesting thing is the colors and the way they express emotion. Due to the fact that it doesn't have any voice acting, the story goes through very clearly, which is very hard to archive.

Have you ever been playing Um Jammer Lammy and thought: "This should use fewer buttons, get rid of the visual timing indicator, have cutscenes every time I complete a musical phrase, and tell a phoney, faux-nostalgic story about the danger of drugs and the healing powers of love."
Have you ever been playing Gitaroo Man and thought: "They should replace all this great, genre-hopping music with languid, samey, classic rock-ish mush with rhythmically stilted melodies."
Yeah, me neither.
