灵魂交响乐【Soul Symphony】

This game mystifies me deeply. On one hand, I really like the music, and the game play is pretty great, er, it would be, in a universe where Marble It Up Ultra doesn't exist already. The point is, controlling the ball is pleasingly frustrating, like playing SM64 chaos edition, and a lot like that, there are moments that are quite fun, like how the ball starts moving at an insane speed when going down a ramp. The glaring problem is, and you can't tell this from the screen shots, is that everything, the levels, the ball, the collectibles, everything, is constantly cycling through a rainbow of random colors and flashing, including random patterns overlaid on the screen on top of everything else. Sometimes when I play the game, everything also has really severe ghosting, which pushes the game over the edge to being almost impossible to visually decipher what's going on. The thing is, I really think that these choices were all deliberate, rather than the result of some kind of visual glitch. The levels are very simplistic for a game of this type, no moving platforms, no enemies, and other hazards other than falling off the edge of the level. All you do is go around and collect symbols. That leads me to believe the developer took into consideration how difficult it would be to accomplish anything else, given the blizzard of colors assaulting your vision at all times. I recognize that I cannot speak or understand Chinese, so the... "plot" of the game, if there is one, is lost on me, but I can't help but wonder if there wasn't a way to achieve the trippy aspect that the developer was looking for besides making what might be the world's ugliest game. Still, I love extraordinarily horrible games, so this gem comes with a full recommendation from me.
