I was expecting more but it’s alright

This game really felt movie-esque to me, and the music and the incredible visual design really spoke to me about the emotion and care that went through the painstaking efforts it took to choreograph every single level. Everyone with their masks and everyone moving theatrically really stands out to me. "Dreamy," is definitely a good word to describe the atmosphere this game creates, where you aren't concerned by the realistic aspects of the mechanics at all, and instead you get completely lost in the pop music and the pop of colors happening all around you, all while you're shooting robot wolves and drifting on the highway. It's a level of immersion that I really love.

Everything in this game is completely abstract and doesn't hone on specifics about your character or your environment, and as a result, it was exhilarating for me to reflect on the themes this game presents. My interpretation of this game was about this person, how from who/what she interacts with and her actions exemplify the story of someone who has been pushed to their lowest depths in depression, someone who tries to fix themselves by adapting to otherworldly pressures. Their resolution is understanding that their experiments with their being were a fruitful endeavor in better understanding themselves in the lens of themselves instead of the pressures of others; they were able to love themselves again for who they are, not what other people want them to be. Self-love is truly one of the biggest accomplishments for anyone to pursue, because it is truly hard to love someone when you know their worst aspects of them, more so when you feel unable to rationalize or empathize with yourself.

Mechanically, the game is great. Each level features something new and unique, while some of the mechanics are limited to the game's "sections." Some of them really mystified me in a good way. This game is fast, and the way it teaches you every new mechanic feels seamless still. Levels aren't more than a minute or three, so you're really getting to experience something new in rapid fashion. This game has high scores per level, and I really pushed myself to not go back on my mistakes and try to reach the Gold rank before moving on to the next level. As a result, I really got to experience the game as its whole sum, and I personally think I enjoyed it for the better. It took me about an hour to beat, but I am sure someone passionate about 100%'ing the game would take at least ten hours, probably more.

The game features extra stuff, like a mode to play the entire game for one score, or tarot card riddles, but I decided against doing it, feeling it would diminish what I've played so far. I would play this for the music alone.

Oh! And Queen Latifah narrates the game. Quite fun.

Why did I buy this, I hate pop. Very artsy feely game about overcoming sadness... I think. Nicely put together game and great visuals. All in all, not my thing, I’ll probably never think about it again and will be happier for it.
