    Music and movement combine in a game that mints joy from wonderful organic weirdness. [Recommended]

I normally like these free explore games, and as a musician a game about unlocking the song should appeal. For whatever reason Ode didn't connect with me at all. I started the game 3 times and never even finished the first level. I always ended up exiting before getting to a save point or completing the level. I admit I must be pathetically bad at the platforming elements the game needs me to perform to progress.

I probably won't try a fourth time though, as it'll probably end the same - and I'm tired of hearing that same song repeat.
