A very well made game, both in terms of design and aesthetic. The last levels of each world are incredibly hard though, expecting you to figure out really long sequences and specific steps, but overall the game is enjoyable all the same.

A cute game that becomes genuinely challenging quite fast. Overall a smart mechanic which made me say "the guy who made this puzzle is a genius" just as I would in Patrick's Parabox for instance. Overall a hidden gem.

A beautiful and polished game, with great puzzles. It just feels a bit too easy, short and thus does not feel like it reached its full potential, but overall it's a great experience in any case.

A beautiful gem, both in its aesthetic, music and gameplay.
If you like untangling a bit of mystery and admiring eerily pretty worlds, that's the game for you.

A truly amazing game in its gameplay, world, attention to details, reactivity, sheer amount of content, music and voice acting. The way the ending is managed and technical issues in Act 3 can't allow this game to be a 10/10 though, but it sure is pretty close.
An impressive endeavour that I am sure will be improved and worked on by Larian in the near future, because after shipping a game like this one you can only trust them to keep going in the right direction.

A great game - it doesn't seem packed with content, which is understandable for a EA 10€ game, but its core mechanic is incredibly smart and engaging and it's easy to see the foundation for super varied and fun runs. Absolutely recommend, I can't wait to see what's gonna be added until the full release of the game;

Edit : Now that I literally completed the game 100% and am having fun on the extreme difficulty (beyond XD), I'm just editing this to confirm that there is nothing like this game. It's sheer fun and skill and the incredible thing is that you never stop improving. At first the Expert tracks feel hard, then the XD tracks feel laughably impossible, then you try your first RemiXD and wonder wtf is going on, and then you find yourself completing level 35 RemiXD. It's a testament to the genius design of this game. Love the devs for this.

I don't like rythm games usually. They ask to be pitch perfect while pretty much having only one control, clicking the mouse. And many times if you miss, the music "breaks". For me, that manages to be boring and annoying at the same time. Putting a story or cool graphics around it doesn't change a thing : rythm games are just not for me, at all.

But this one is so much better in every way, thanks to two crucial points :
- There are several controls that make for a more diverse game play and, most importantly, engage you so much more in the music being played. Moving the mouse, flicking it, "shaking" it, pushing the space bar, having to click or hold while following the trace... it's genuinely fun.
- The music is not interrupted if you fail a few notes - the whole level doesn't come crashing either, you just lose a few health points that can replenish if you don't miss the ones after for a while.

Beyond these two core tenets that make this stand a league above the rest, it also simply :
- is incredibly polished in terms of visuals, UI and UX.
- has a great selection of songs that can go beyond the usual electro stuff. I was genuinely surprised by some genre in there and how well they work with the mechanics of this game.
- boasts top notch accessibility through 5 difficulty levels for each song, and that's not to mention the plethora of accessibilty options in the menu (that I personally don't use). I find myself hopping between hard and expert depending on the tracks and it's perfect.

The devs literally "solved" the rythm genre to my mind and that's no small feat. Kudos !

An amazing game in all aspects, truly a must-play that has to be done going blind.

Superb gameplay, artstyle, music and replayability, though I know I didn't see Everything this has to offer yet. The overall review score at present is insanely low - yes it is hard at first, but after just a bit of time and learning the ropes the whole logic just clicks and it's doable.

I only played the first world so far, but the mechanics and the handling/physics of the robot are absolutely awesome. I feel huge Celeste vibes in terms of the inertia and how the goal is to chain quick levels that are pretty challenging. Death is not an issue, it's just about getting that precision right and it feels damn good.
And cute OST / art direction too :)
