As an artistic display, this game is top notch thanks to a realm of psychedelic striking visuals full of colour, life and personality and an entire library of musicality to boot. Its an incredible sight to behold and a treat to listen to throughout.

However the game unfortunately falls apart when it comes to marrying all this artistry with both its story and its gameplay. As a platformer it doesn't really work, its all too basic and despite the plot repeatedly emphasising danger, there's never any penalty for failures and there's never any actual danger bar the occasional small pit.

As a music game it also falters too. Plot wise the game emphases finding your own path but when the game bullet points every main area with Simon-Says pattern repetition, it really damages its own narrative in the process. Sure there's moments to really make the game your own when it comes to costume design and backstory choices....

Its a blessing that the game is so strong in its audio and visual department that you'll happily rock out through its short runtime but overall I still wish they would have really played into the themes of individuality a little harder to make things truly work.
