CICADAMATA"

Cicadamata succeeds at what it's trying to do, but you'll finish the story mode in under 2 hours and everything after that is repeating the same levels trying for more score or better times. The levels are very open with few visual cues as to where you need to go next; you will end up confused at first as you try to figure out the intended pathing. This game also has a huge camera FOV and floaty jumps with momentum and dash chaining, which can make it very unclear in the moment whether a path you want to take is going to end up too far away to land. Despite its weaknesses, this game is exactly what it bills itself to be, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. For 10 bucks, it's an easy recommend. 7/10 or 8/10, would get flashbanged by robot butt again.

Worth every Penny! Not a thing about this game I don't enjoy and I'm praying to see more!

A floaty and fast shooter with a beautiful aesthetic and crisp sound design, CICADAMATA is already one of my favs. Simple controls but a harder to master movement and level system, it's all in your routing and precision to score high and find all the little itty bitty secrets in here. Don't sweat scores if you just want to clear the game, though--even for a casual player the game's a treat to the senses. There's also some interesting background story going on for those interested, but it doesn't get in the way of the main experience to me. As a final note, I sincerely appreciate how fast I can reset if I flub a run with a single button press and like two seconds of time, it's a must for me in almost any game. Looking forward to what the developer does in the future!
