You cannot die and the musical sections are very generous with the difficulty. I will say this though, I never once, throughout my entire adventure, saw a game over or failure screen. There are secret areas, a few collectibles dotted about and a few things to distract you from the main story. Through the course of this musical adventure you learn new notes, the rhythm sections get more elaborate and the whole experience evolves nicely. There are great characters to be met all over this quirky little title. All the story sections are sung and the music fits the words so well that it sounds like the music is actually narrating the game, itвЂ™s a truly unique experience from start to finish. You use music and songs all over the place, to move platforms, to open doors but most importantly, the marvelous boss fights. It should not work but it really does, it works so well that I was besotted for the entirety of its six or so hour adventure. This game is a strange blend of platformer, puzzler with a hefty slice of rhythm game thrown in for good measure. I could tell from the trailer alone that this game was going to be something I enjoyed it looked unique, beautiful and very charming.

The pixel art was stunning, the music was great and the gameplay looked very unique indeed.

I watched a trailer for the game and it immediately struck me how beautiful it was.

They were not far from the mark and itвЂ™s a very apt description of this quirky little title. Someone described Songbird Symphony to me as a musical platformer with a heartfelt story. ItвЂ™s mostly in the indie gamespace this happens as those games are more likely to push the boat into unknown territories. For example, when I first played YokuвЂ™s Island Express, the mixture of pinball and platforming was something I had never experienced before and I fell in love with it instantly. If there is a quality I value more than most in gaming is the ability to make something unique, a game that stands out and has an identity like no other. Now and again, very rarely, I get pleasantly surprised by a video game.
