    Wandersong is a 2D music-themed rhythm adventure platformer.

    As with so many other platformers, the game opens with your character standing defenceless on the left hand side of the screen, and setting out on their adventure.

    The game world is rendered in a brightly-coloured papercut stop-motion animation style. It was here that I ran into my first problems with the game.

    It's definitely a controller-based game, but the UI for menus is so frustrating that I resorted to keyboard and mouse - and STILL had problems.

    I lost close to ten minutes (which I subtracted from the playtime to get the total above) just wrestling with the options UI and trying to get it to commit the resolution I'd chosen.

    With game actually running at a reasonable resolution, I set off to the right, to embrace my destiny. A sword! Every adventurer needs a sword!

    This is when I encountered what felt like the weirdest weapon interaction I've ever encountered: to use the sword you select a direction for the sword to point with the D-Pad (or left stick, but I recommend D-pad) and then move towards the target.

    Enter battle... and immediately lose your sword forever as it flies out of your hands and plummets offscreen.

    As it turns out, this is not a fighting platformer, it's a musical platformer.

    After some further scene setting, you're into the game proper.

    Fights in the game are effectively a complicated version of the memory game "Simon", with a C major scale's 8 notes instead of Simon's 4.

    As an example, an early fight with a ghost involves replicating the notes and patterns that the non-vocal ghost is making. This is where using the d-pad is more effective than trying to use the left stick. You need to hit the right notes in the right order, and it's too easy to slide through a wrong note with the analog stick, meaning you need to start the pattern again.

    For the most part, it's effective, and the music is quite lovely, but it's definitely a game I'm going to need to be in the mood for.

    Part of the reason for that is that the bugginess of the UI extends into the game itself, with the game intermittently pixelating as if dropping to low resolution, and intermittent visual glitches.

    During the battles with a ghost, the screen colours invert, and the soundtrack changes accordingly, and usually switches back after winning the battle.

    However, after one battle, the colours and soundtrack started inverting and reverting non-stop, making the game virtually unplayable.

    Unfortunately, the general bugginess took the edge off a game I quite enjoy otherwise, leaving Wandersong at:

  5. @britt Not sure how well it fits the "lesser known" criteria but #Wandersong.

    Definitely a masterpiece for me!

  6. Recordatorio de que #Wandersong trata de ir junto a un bardo a salvar el mundo mediante la música y es un juego precioso. Su banda sonora es igualmente increíble.
