Old School Musical

Old School Musical is a Rythm game all about nostalgia. On it's own, it's a pretty solid Rythm game, but it doesn't have a ton of music, so the real draw is the musical homages made to old school games. Along with these musical homages, it also evokes older games through its visuals and story vignettes. These short comical segments are skippable if you aren't in the mood, but they add quit a bit of enjoyment to the game if you recognize the games. Zelda, Xenogears, Half-Life, The Last of Us, Metal Slug, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and many more are referenced and each reference is fun.

Really, there are only two things I don't like about this game:
1. There are unskippable cutscenes in almost every song that is part of the story. These lulls in the flow are annoying when replaying songs, and they will be doubly annoying should you be disinterested in the story of the game.
2. This one is actually a pretty big issue. As you miss notes and fail to do well, the screen becomes more and more indecipherable, making it less and less likely that you'll be able to recover in the middle of a song. Rythm games should never punish you for doing poorly by making the game harder. I cannot understand why the developers thought it was a good idea to make the game screen harder to read when you miss several notes, but the screen distortions make it nigh impossible to read incoming notes. This really feels like kicking the player when they're down.

If you want a fun and short homage to old school game titles with tongue in cheek humor and rythm gameplay, this game is pretty fantastic. If you're not into old school games, this likely won't be the game for you

after playing FNF its nice to see an indie rhythm game that not only works but actually got finished and didn't need an insane budget for an indie game to do so

Honestly such a great game! gonna play and replay it more but let me tell you about my beginning.
Watching the dlc trailer that is now the first one it looks like a very fun silly game. what you'll realize after starting it tho is the story is in depth and entertaining! I quickly fell in love with our dynamic duo and was on board for all the wacky fun like rob's costumes. lets just say my favorite one to stumble upon was very quiet!
BIG TiP tho for anyone who has troubles with syncronization: you can redo it in the options menu. gonna do my second playthrough on hard with tighter sync and hopefully have zero issues.
(edit: I have been playing with tighter inputs and it's perfect!!)
In the end please support the devs and take a chance on this game I love<3 its a new casual game for me and could be for u too :)

I really wish I knew about this game sooner, this is without a doubt the most underrated game I have ever played in my life. The fact that this game reeks so much authenticity and silliness and I only found it out through frickin Gamedle is honestly a crime. More people need to play this game, I really cannot recommend it enough

A funny story about two ''heroes'' and their mother(that looks like my uncle), where they travel from worlds to worlds(which are actually references to old games.)
metal gear/slug, tetris, last of us, pokemon, zelda...
If you are a retro gamer, this will make you feel at home, plus you get a shirtless man dancing on your screen and the need to fight a republic of chickens as extra!
I played this game long ago at release when I was at my peak as jack sparrow, it made me game interested in rhythm games, so I guess that I owe a lot this game.
By the way, never stop throwing stones if you get the chance hehehe

Great rhythm game which has a REALLY nice soundtrack.
The story is fairly decent too.
7.5/10

Fun rhythm game hearkening players back to days of 8-bit music and graphics. It is pretty forgiving but the post-story content gets way more difficult.
