You know what makes NPPD Rush great? It doesn't explain anything. What many will identify as negative aspects of the game, some will find to be perfect for the vibe the developers intended.

The game is confusing. The gameplay and core mechanics are not described, or taught to you through 'learning levels' like so many other titles. The teletype text and short 'scenes' don't give the player much more than nebulous hints, but encourage an imaginative player to read a great deal of the story between the lines. The crazy colour scheme, soundtrack and HUD make the game difficult to follow, and it will take you a number of playthroughs to figure out even the core mechanics.

The objectively great part of this game is the soundtrack. Fast paced, bumpin beats set the mood perfectly, and wouldn't be out of place at your next killer house party. Other than that, why was this game worthwhile to me? It's a game that you can learn on your own. It's a game you feel good about figuring out. It's a game you can beat.

Your friends might take a cursory glance and hate it. The negative reviews speak to that. Its a short game, and most won't think it worth the price. The complaints you might read in the review are not unfounded, but ask yourself: does this game deserve a place in my Steam library?

I say yes.
