+ Art and music are fine enough
+ Main game loop is a pretty good working memory/concentration workout
- Not worth it for the H scenes, it's just a couple of still images
- ONE CRUCIAL DETAIL about how the game works is not explained in all the tl;dr nonsense about abyss and whatnot of the tutorial, causing apparent endless frustration judging by the reviews
- Orb movements and overlaps as well as the battle mechanics are such that you will have a BAD TIME unless you pick up on it, which at least I didn't until the 4th battle

CRUCIAL DETAIL: Green orbs are always sorted to the bottom of the pile.

There, that's it, that's the trick to this entire game. There's absolutely no way the devs weren't aware of this when playtesting and once you see it you can't unsee it. Not only does being aware of this make it possible at all to follow the correct orb after 3+ orb overlaps (which happen all the time), it gives a middle-of-stage Sonic level route equivalent way to salvage a missed round which otherwise gets more severely punished.

Once you pick up on it it's not a very difficult game. I never played the pre-rebalanced version but it makes me wonder if just telling players about orb order wouldn't have fixed it for most of them.
