140
At its heart, 140 is an album that just happens to be interactive. A one-hour trip through the abstract mind of a musician fond of colors and two-dimensional shapes. Now, the question is, does the player’s rhythm match the game’s electric beat?

- Challenging platformer action with great rhythmic-based puzzles.
- Innovative boss battles and solid physics enhance the experience.
- Only three unique levels and a very short game that can be completed in under 2 hours.
- Controls can feel unreliable when using analogue sticks.
- Lack of meaningful post-game content and some segments are unreasonably unfair.

5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in the game enhances the dynamic gameplay and complements the level design, particularly during varied boss battles and mirrored levels that add extra challenges. However, some players noted a lack of musical variation across the limited number of unique levels, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite its brevity, the game offers a charming and innovative blend of music and platforming that appeals to fans of both genres.

Critic Reviews
140 Review
140 is a charming, difficult, and incredibly short experience that manages to be both sadistic and inviting the entire time it's on. While it may not last too long, it's still a game any platformer or music fan should invest their time into. While a true platforming juggernaut could finish everything in the game in a few hours, it's the only experience like it, and it's one of the best rhythm platformers ever made.
