Don't Stop, Girlypop!

Fun fun fun

You definitely need to engage with the mechanics if you want to get anywhere on the standard difficulty. Underneath the bubbly exterior it is actually quite mechanically demanding. Once you learn the game you'll be breezing through with satisfying smoothness and speed.

Playing this on LSD and seeing it developed by Strayans retriggered my childhood autoantipodephilia in me, I want to be an Aussie Sheila now!

I had a good time with this game and there are a number of things that draw me in. I do have a couple problems with the game being that the many enemies blend into the background given that the game is mostly different shades of pink. Also, platforming is a little rough as your FOV is small and gets larger with speed. I don't usually have a big problem with first person platforming and these sections themselves are alright barring the FOV thing. The game has a lot to love though. The customization of arms and weapons is very open and unrestricting, The combat is uniquely fun, the music is great, the characters are solid, the voice acting nice and the 2000's look and vibe is cool. It felt more like a fresh uniquely memorable gimmick across most categories than it was flat out great but it doesn't overstay its welcome. I had fun but I feel a slight bit of indifference.
