"Songs for a Hero" is a simple, level-based platforming-adventure game that parodies the absurdity of video game logic through a 4th-wall breaking musical narration from the hero's perspective (dynamically commenting on whatever's happening on screen). Before you tap out after reading the word "parody," this game succeeds where other parodies fail in it's 'earnestness'; it's clear the creators are huge fans of games from the myriad references to the classics, and the musical narration never gets tiring due to the catchy instrumentals and shifting genre/tempo of the OST.
