Fun, funky, and more challenging than it can look, this fresh take on a puzzle game simply does its own thing Filling a sort of unusual niche by being both a unique puzzler, as well as almost a music game (while music is very central to the experience, this isn’t a rhythm game), Backbeat is a strange bird without a doubt.

Backbeat stands out among puzzle games for its attractive graphics and constantly pulsing, funky soundscape, but most of all for its impressive depth of mechanics. Juggling phrase lengths, bar markers, alignment, stagger, solos, and special moves – all in interactive levels full of moving parts – is like having a wah-wah pedal hooked up to your brain. Apart from a sometimes-fiddly interface and limited replayability, Ichigoichie has hit all the right notes.
