This game really came out of nowhere and fulfilled my favourite niche of 'rhythm combat game' really well!
Combat is exceptional and probably the best incorporation of rhythm-based combat I've seen since necrodancer. Graphics are also amazing and captures the cartoon style really well. Looks like something I would've watched on cartoon network in the early 2010's, especially with the dialogue.
My only issue is that the segments between combat go on a bit too long, especially with how clunky the platforming can feel. Also would've loved for the game to have more boss battles around the middle, since it feels like they put most of them towards the end.
Overall a fantastic game though! Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being one of my favourites of the year.
