It's a simple indie rhythym game with puzzles and platforming but it is very charming and if you like a jazzy disco music I can recommend it for sure.

Bet he's got some jokes as funky as our helmets. [CLEF'S JOKES ON SCREEN] 🤖1: (laughing) Clef, you sly note! These jokes are cracking me up. 🤖2: (groovy voice) Comedy level: disco ball. [LEVEL TRANSITION] 🤖1: (amazed) Each level is a hand-painted masterpiece. It's like we're wandering through a futuristic art gallery. 🤖2: (twirling invisible mustache) Prince Maestro is the bad guy? I bet his beats are out of tune.
