It’s such a cool, if niche, set-up and if the soundtrack can support it I could see myself really getting into the swing of things. The soundtrack accompanying you is ambient and relaxed, and later on when you’re singing refrains back to a floating flower lady, you follow the beat in order to know when it’s your turn to sing. I can really see the seeds of something unique here, and I’m sure that the developers will be aiming to wring every ounce of potential out of the possibilities it affords. I know I gave a little chuckle every time I did anything new in this early portion of the game, and there’s a real sense of discovery and newness that you wouldn’t expect from a weary old genre like the 2D platformer. It’s strange, but it manages to also be fun. There are also flowers that will only bloom if you sing the right note, opening up to provide a jumping platform, while bigger devices appear that you have to sing a certain phrase, a bit like a musical Simon Says. Where there are areas that your little guy can’t simply jump up or across, you’re able to sing a platform into existence that they can walk on. You use your voice to solve the puzzles put in front of you, helping your little purple singer move across the landscape.
