The thing with rhythm games is that they’re made for fans of rhythm games. In my experience, so many rhythm games have boringly easy easy modes, but inexplicably mind melting normal modes and above. I was genuinely so impressed with how gently the difficulty increased, managing to keep me and my friend/OPPONENT engaged and having to get better each hoedown. I feel like this is some kind of DDR training tool, lol. The presentation is wonderful (I think it was a great move to have these exaggerated puppet animations so I can enjoy them even when only looking in my peripheral vision) and I’m such a fan of the adorable, tattoo-spotted procedural characters with lovely little names. Not many games in the jam captured so much of the whimsy and cute-southern-charm of a more twee kind of western setting.
