There’s something pretty novel and uniquely challenging about this 3D runner, but there can also be frustrations

Some translation issues, odd choices, and perhaps a little too much Mario Party-esque spirit hold this trivia game show back a bit
Undeniably a bit different in how it approaches platforming and death, in this case with it often being a necessity, but overall it’s a bit of a mess
Mix together elements of Pac-Man with some platforming and shades of Donkey Kong Jr (and others) and you’ve got Annalynn
In many ways playing out as a more mature and deeper Choose Your Own Adventure take, Harmony offers great dynamic storytelling
