Definitive proof that games have just gotten better.

It's clean. It's good. It's perfectly serviceable.

It is also the platformer equivalent of reading Peanuts in the 2020's instead of Calvin and Hobbes or literally anything in Shonen Jump.

Its concept of internet humor is dated. Its idea of gender dynamics for comedy and drama feel dated. I have to pause for a moment to let the insanity that I'm attacking those details in a puzzle platformer about rectangles wash over me and ok I'm back. But those are the first tangible details I have for conveying how it feels old while scarecly a decade young.

We're just used to better. Maybe this feeling is in part because it spawned so many imitators that its whole conceit feels dated. In its efforts to be timeless - the acting style of the narrator, the non-melody indie game music, the graphical flourishes stradling the line between reserved and cheap - its identity is defined by its quaintness.

Playing this on my OLED LG TV was an absolute nightmare in some levels, these color choices were made when monitors were just worse.

2 stars, C rank, someone fix that terrible and noticeable jumping input delay.
