Uffa wuffa, a lo largo del juego podía sentir como subía y subía en mi top de juegos hasta quedarse como uno de mis favoritos. Es increible como logran sacar tantas cosas interesantes de una sola mecánica, y todas funcionan, y hacen de puzzles (la mayoría) interesantes.
Also, tiene al mejor protagonista de los videojuegos de todos los tiempos.
El guion es buenisimo, y explora una cantidad de tonos y emociones que se espera de un juego así.
Era casi imposible jugarlo sin una sonrisa en la cara, esperando que más iba a pasar en la historia, disfrutando de los diálogos entre los personajes, y divirtiéndose con las nuevas mecánicas que iban surgiendo.
No soy mucho de quedarme haciendo misiones secundarias, pero en este juego tenía que hablar con cada personaje, y explorar cada rama de diálogo, porque de verdad que está muy bien escrito.
Recomendadísimo, eso sí, se me hizo un poco más largo de lo esperado, pero no me quejo, disfruté cada momento del juego.

I really want to love this game. I don;'t know if it's because I'm playing it on Linux and using a dualshock controller but no matter if I'm doing mouse or doing controller, the controls for it just feel so wrong and hard to deal with. I'm fighting with the basic controls to get through a game with a massive amount of tilt sensitive movements and platforming. It's a shame because I love the colors, the theming, the singsongy dancy pacifist story. I guess I can just watch someone else play it, but it's very frustrating for me.

This game was freaking amazing. During my first couple of hours it felt like it would become my new favorite game, and after completing it now that feels even truer! The singing mechanic is so fleshed out, and the game never stops to provide unique ways to use it to solve puzzles. Also singing is just super fun lol.
And yeah this game is so good when it comes to exploring. I didn't need to look up any walkthroughs; walking around and experimenting was enough (and I love being able to do that in games and be confident that I'm still making some progress).
Also I love the way this game uses the Steam Achievements, since in video games, only the hero can get the trophies. Super clever, I hope everyone can play this with the Internet on so they can see when Achievements show up and realize what's going on.
Another thing I gotta add is the damn story hits deep. Almost on the verge of tears at one point. I wouldn't consider it "dark" but its not afraid to get serious. The cutesy children's book art style is icing on the cake and I LOVE how the colors change depending on the scene. I took so many pictures during this game (I wish Steam let us record videos too).
Super epic game, I'm sure this will stay on my mind for a long time. I was kinda bummed out when it ended since as far as I know there isn't even a post game (I don't wanna stop being the bard ;-;). But its okay... The End is inevitable.

Really fun game. Really fun characters with great personalities, and hilarious dialogue throughout. It's a really wholesome game and I love it. The graphics area really neat, and the gameplay is really fun, with some really cool mechanics and areas.
For a game about music and creating music, the soundtrack isn't all that good though. The bard's singing ends up being most of the soundtrack, and it's funny, but it gets a bit tiring after a bit. That's my only real problem with the game though. Everything else is amazing. I highly recommend.

This game really is incredible, and I'd love to dump all of the love in the world on it because it really deserves it, but I just cannot rate it any higher than this because of how poorly the game runs. I have no idea why it is it runs so poorly. My machine is more than strong enough to run this game 5 times over but the game caps out at around an unstable 44fps with pretty constant frame drops with no option to limit fps. Additionally, I noticed very early on in the game that the physics were messed up as well because I was having an incredible amount of trouble making a very simple jump. I searched it up online to see if other people were having similar issues as me and I found logs and steam community posts dating back to 2018 describing the same problems as I was having. How was this never fixed? I very much so wish I could just not mention it but it is something that affected nearly every moment of gameplay in my 12 hour playthrough. It seems like this is a somewhat uncommon problem and the game seems to run fine on most people's machines, so hopefully if you're thinking about picking this up you most likely won't have any issues, but I can't lie and say that it didn't negatively impact my experience with the game. Apart from that, I like that they put Mr. Oshiro in here and I think it's really neat that all the achievements are based around things the hero does. Plus the music is really great
A unique 2D platformer RPG where you take on the role of a cheerful bard aiming to save the world with his singing. The game places an emphasis on music and harmony over traditional RPG heroics. The abilities of the music wheel change with each stage, making the gameplay charming, creative, and fresh. The characters, though quite simple in design, have distinguishing features. Interacting with them brings forth a touching narrative that explores themes of compassion in the face of adversity and overcoming insecurities.
Overall, it's an uplifting and touching adventure that fills you with hope and joy.
ps the game has problems running on high refresh rate monitors. I'd recommend running the game on 60fps capped (change this from NVIDIA control panel or equivalent steps for AMD/Intel GPUs as there is no fps limiter setting in-game)

What a great unknown game. This game is so meta and great in a way I was not expecting. I assumed it would be not unlike Hue or something short and small like that, but it’s not that at all. The premise is that you are in a world that is going to end, and you are not the hero, but you still keep trying. I was pretty impressed with the character development, and really enjoyed the cute characters and writing. Strongly recommend this game to anyone.
