CICADAMATA"

scratches the same itch as neon white and is far less linear than it, which allows for room to figure out routing through each level for time saves on your own. the ui and fx are intrusive but i wouldnt change them for the world, it really makes me feel like a hypermobile cyberfreak in a sterile digitized reality. it's quite short beginning to end, but you're not here for linearly completing a story to the end and calling it a day, you're here for racing your ghost over and over to climb the leaderboard and get diamond scores. PS: i need more games in this style, marathon and cicadamata alone arent enough for me. Tear flesh from bone.

Я бы разработчиков в губы засосал, за такие охуевшие игры

Super fluid, super fun gameplay. Simple and effective and short as well. Makes for a good pick-up and play game. I would say how it is a 10/10 for what it does, but there is one thing I wanted to say with this review and don't let it bring down your enjoyment of the game because it is truly a fun time. If you read the achievement list, go into the game, complete it, and even notice in the final fun star-power level set, there is SJW trans-rights propaganda flag imagery scattered about. Before the story was introduced after game completion, the dialogue writing was very on the nose as typical with this genre of game that there is more of a transgender angle than a transhuman angle being pushed. Confimation by the LGBT imagery really cements this, then the visual novel at the end being the only real story to be had basically implying further LGBT gripes, grievance, and themes typical of "woke media literacy," it is clear this game's creator "January" wanted to speak on that. Fair enough, however, all I want to say is that it didn't really add to the overall experience and only really took away from it. Instead of being applicable to most people in how they can relate to losing humanity by becoming a Cicada, it went hard into the paint for the trans angle, unfortunately being another game in the heap of "trans-coded" games of a similar nature. It's the same way that trans media is stereotyped for being heavy into breakbeat, loud and fast visuals, cyberpunk themes, etc. It decides to TROPE itself, falling into the most obvious traps. Now Cicadamata to me, and maybe a few others, will simply be yet another game PEGGED to current year (2026) and will age like milk. Really fun game but I felt the need to add that because this game simply didn't NEED a story or NEED to push an agenda.

wow i scratched this game for an hour and I'm having the most fun out of any game i have played this year, this game is so much fun and worth every cent plus the soundtrack is amazing too 10/10
