This game is very cute and captures the spirit of Steven Universe very well with its simple aesthetic.
The cast is mostly playable (Lapis felt like the only major omission) and well utilized in terms of the skills they each have available. Additionally the relationship mechanic was an excellent way of including and making playable the various gem fusions.
I found the game to be surprisingly tougher than I expected. All the way through to the end of the game even normal battles were challenging enough that I couldn't coast through them without thought.
As someone without rhythm I was not a fan of the timed button presses for attack and defense bonuses, though I got better with practice.
The story was simple but fun and in keeping with the themes of the show. My only real complaint was that some of the voice lines (mostly incidental lines) felt more tonally in-keeping with early Steven Universe.
