I really love Simogo's other titles and was very excited for this but found the thinness of its themes and gameplay to be pat and a little insulting.
some of the music is good, but aside from the light tarot card imagery I feel like the visuals are a huge letdown. Totally confused by how a game clearly inspired by new wave / synthpop queer alter-ego wish fulfillment (ala jem and the holograms) put all of its characters in visually dull bun hairdos and dressed them like stuffy cater waiters. who fantasizes about becoming this in their glam-rock dreams?

Absolutely beautiful.
Back to back bangers creating a cohesive aesthetic to chomp down on every minute, with heartpounding tracks to navigate ingame as well as listen to. It's a pleasant joyride that I enjoyed for the entire hour and a half-ish it lasted.
I'm going to be the jerk here and list a couple gripes, like how disorienting a couple of the tracks around The Hermit were and some things that just didn't seem reactable at first and required replays to get higher ranks on.
But overall, I think if you were interested in the trailer at all, if that music or the art spoke to you in any way you absolutely should give Sayonara Wild Hearts a try, so you as well can find some harmony of your own. (8/10)

Nice short game. Music was quite enjoyable, setpieces were creative and fun, even if gameplay's a bit simple. To be fair, this game is first and foremost a mobile game, so it stands to reason the game could be easily played on a touchscreen. A good experience, took about two hours. Might replay later
