I think this game didn't get the attention it deserved because it released on the same day as Untitled Goose Game, and the whole internet went wild for that game. This is a pop album as a video game, and has a really cool double narrative that is at one time about defeating evil arcana to restore balance to the world, and at another about learning to love yourself. This is the most pure joy I've felt playing a video game in a long time, I was mouth open in awe and grinning with joy throughout the entirety of its 1 1/2 hour long playtime, which like any album you love, you'll want to play over and over. The mechanics of the game start with you just moving around collecting hearts to the music, and then the game adds new twists to the gameplay with every level, while keeping everything so intuitive that you feel like you're playing something new but you're never lost as to what you're supposed to do. The game is just bursting with color and creativity, and I'm going to stop writing about it now so that I can go play it again!
