I played this game with absolutely no context who was behind it, but after looking into it/watching the video they made about developing the game, I have some new new music to explore. Regardless, I speak on this game as someone who had never heard of Rob Scallon or anyone associated. If you love rhythm games, you need to play this. The music, the visuals, the mechanics; they all work in glorious harmony to create a perfect game, if you'll pardon the pun. The animations are cute and creative, every single thing in the world is musical to some degree, and the combat mechanics are both fun and rewarding. I played the game a fair bit past 100%ing it, if that's an indicator of how much fun I had. The story is also cute and engaging. I got a little confused trying to figure out where to go next in the last area of the game, but nothing genuinely frustrating. My only real gripe aside from the bugs was that there wasn't enough game to play! For some, though, that may be a boon; it's short and sweet. As far as the bugs go, some freezes and occasional controller glitches, but nothing too game breaking. I was usually able to fix the controller issues by swapping between mouse input and controller input until it was fixed, but I always had to fix the freezes by force closing the game from the Steam Client. Game overs don't have a strong penalty other than respawning every enemy, so having to force close the game and restart it doesn't force you to backtrack too much, and redoing combat sections is honestly kind of a treat with this game as you get to listen to more of the music. Annoying, but not frustrating. The game also could have benefited from some kind of practice mode or perhaps a tutorial booklet, but experimenting with the mechanics on some of the weaker combat encounters was fun enough I can forgive that sin. There is an area in the beginning (a sound booth) that I suspect might have been intended to be a practice range in an older vision of the game but was scrapped due to time/budget constraints.
This was, at it's purest essence, what comes to my mind when I think of a delightful little game. Not very long, not impossibly hard, just a really beautifully crafted labor of love kind-of deal. As a professional musician and professional nerd this is absolutely a 10/10 experience
It's a deckbuilder but with a QTE for each attack card. Each instrument/weapon has it's own fully unique deck for different playstyles, it's own BGM for most fights, and each card has it's own sound effect and QTE that fits really nice with the BGM. Would like to see expansion packs or a sequel in the future.
