Big fan of this after I fully understood all the complexities. Undoing progress with the loops is a really cool and unintuitive mechanic (I mean that in a good way!). Really makes you think hard about what abilities to equip when. I think any great rhythm game should break your brain a bit by overloading it with new info and this certainly achieves that.\n\nAnyway visuals and audio were also great, maybe tutorialisation of the different abilities could be better, took me a while to even understand what steering was, let alone what it actually did.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Bajtix","author_uid":"1126840","time":"2020-10-15T14:52:07Z","epoch":1602773527,"modified":1602773527,"text":"@jam373 Thanks!
