It is very much just like PaRappa the Rapper.

EDIT: Actually no, PaRappa the Rapper shows you what buttons you are pressing. While this game doesn't.

It's a very neat and fresh idea, something that's not a story game made in top-down 2d with no replay-bility is always wellcome, but the controls are very unresponsive and an in-game manual would be a better idea than, y'know, a online website, it's the "basic but adictive" type of game, but the controls doesn't really do any favors.

Thanks for the feedback. An ingame manual is a great idea. I know that the controls are not on point and wish I would have been able to make them better, but I‘m really pushing the limits of the engine with this concept. So probably there is a reason why there are a lot more top down 2d story games😅
