One of the most charming games of all time. Everything about its aesthetic and general vibe makes me smile. The soundtrack is also fantastic. Gameplay could be a bit more polished. It mostly feels good but you’ll run into occasional moments of jank. This is another game that’s greater than the sum of its parts however. It’s hard not to love something that’s so creative, stylish, and unabashedly specific in its design. All of this elevates something that would otherwise be merely a fun romp into something unforgettable and truly special.

Random note: this game also has the humorous honor of having a tutorial that’s probably harder to beat than any normal level in the game. The tutorial is thankfully not required to progress. You’ll see what I mean if you try to get the steam achievement for beating it.
