Review Colorfusical 4/5 · Mar 22, 2024

Really good music

This game, in my estimation, clocks in at a 2.5/5. It's an isometric puzzle game with hints of metroidvania, involving a fair amount of backtracking. However, it earns a 4/5 thanks to its exceptional music composed by Tim Follin. He truly pushed the limits of the NES sound chip capabilities. Silver Surfer was another game he worked on.
