    • “First off, I must call attention to what developer Melbot refers to as the game's 'kawaii aesthetics.' The game is filled with pastels and bright, bubbly music, and you can dress up the Melbits™ that you navigate each level with hats, bowties, poofy tails, etc. At the conclusion of each level, you get to watch your Melbits™ dance, and this never failed to elicit an 'oh my god they're so cute!' from my co-op partner.”
