it has an incredibly charming graphic style. I'll give it that. everything else, though?
the music is incredibly annoying, despite the praise offered to it. yes, it's quirky, offbeat, pretty catchy, all that jazz, but that alone doesn't save it from grating the ears. well, if it says anything, I'd rather hear this than some generic gangsta rap soundtrack, but that's the most praise I can give it.
the controls are functional, and simple. this makes the game very easy to get into. the problem is, whereas most games of this type go on its "easy to play, hard to master" slogan, the overall gameplay is as simple as the controls. tilting the screen and moving your various locorocos through very same-y levels (differing mostly in color schemes) is very easy and pretty boring. you can increase the challenge by trying to collect all of the items in each level but this is not rewarding in the slightest, and usually results in frustration than anything.
a game that earns some points for style, and none for substance.
