There is so much to this game that even though I really really want to write a full review on it I know it would be chock full of things that are best discovered on your own. So I’m settling for a blast review even though I literally have almost three pages of notes.
At first glance this game looks like a joke version of a Guitar Hero or Rock Band style game even the character selection screen has all the characters look a lot like the Nintendo Mii’s from Wii Music. However, there is more going on mostly involving baboons.
Playing through the various tracks, each of which lasts no longer than three minutes (so no Dragonforce style songs here), earns you ‘toots’ that you can spend on sacks that release cards. There are fifty cards to collect and they are totally optional… but take a hint here, really explore them. If you get duplicates you can ‘turd’ them which will give you a separate currency to create individual cards with.
Since Steam says that this game is ‘Playable’ on the Steam Deck I thought I’d give it a test myself. It definitely works though I found that you have to play the whole thing via the touchscreen and you’ll need to calibrate the game in the settings. However I wouldn’t recommend playing it this way, the game loses something and it’s a bit too easy.
I just love how dumb and yet incredibly clever this game is, even the somewhat awkward way you control the game has been taken into account making all your inputs chaotic and kinda funny.
This is not a game to sleep on, try it, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
