A perfectly executed source of pure fun!

It's hard to explain why I am still so in love with this little game/toybox, because it doesn't sound like much. Basically, imagine a tiny music sequencer, simplify it until a three year old can use it, populate it with a weird and weirdly entertaining collection of samples (dog-bark syntesizers anyone?), add some fascinatingly odd visuals and a trippy story, mix it all up with acid and make the head of an utterly crazy yet completely adorable corgi drive it into space. Get the idea? No? I don't blame you, I wouldn't have believed that this could possibly work as a game either.

The campaign is admittedly very short but makes up for it by offering you one of the most ridiculously awesome stories you could have never imagined. And after you've recovered from that experience, you're still left with the quick play, a super simplified but surprisingly fun little sequencer that is there for you every time you need a 15-minute boost of joy in your day. If you like the idea of fiddling with music and beats, even if you've never tried anything like this before, you need to give this little marvel a go. Fear not your musical incompetence, I am persuaded that the game is rigged to make whatever odd things you create sound brilliant despite your worse efforts.

Cosmic DJ is not a game, it is the perfect cheer-me-up machine, the cheapest happy pill on the market. For some strange reason I have a stupid smile plastered on my face every time I fire it up, and every time without exception I feel like hugging the devs afterwards. If it also gave me the munchies I'd be surprised it was legal. ;)
