Lost in Harmony
SCORE: 67
There have been a variety of voices requesting the video game
industry deal with real world issues. Things like drawing awareness to
people attacking Biblical marriage, and requesting video games be used
to show support for Biblical marriage. Lost in Harmony deals with
cancer, and the impact it has on those around them. Enter Kaito, a skate
boarding music listening young man who cares about Aya. She is the one
with cancer.
Kaito wants to do more for Aya, and has fantasies about skate boarding
her away from all her pain and problems (with her on his back). This is
where we get the level based runner levels. The biggest difference is
the two characters are coming toward the screen. There are objects
coming at us from behind, and obstacles in front of us. Family members
must constantly scan the screen looking for things to avoid.
Tacked onto this level based runner is some rhythm based places to tap.
This part of Lost in Harmony feels tacked on. To say there is chaos on
the screen is an understatement. I had trouble getting enough points on
normal to progress the story. Which is really lame since the levels are
long in Lost in Harmony. Thankfully things slow down as the two
characters text one another between levels.
The music in Lost in Harmony is fantastic. The graphics look nice,
unless your characters are running into something. I had a real knack
for running into all kinds of different objects in Lost in Harmony. This
game is screaming for a normal control scheme. I would like Lost in
Harmony a lot better on the PS Vita and/or Nintendo 3DS. Sometimes my
fingers blocked a visual cue in Lost in Harmony.
Lost in Harmony is a little too hard for my tastes. I suppose that is
done because of how few levels there are in this four hundred plus meg
downloadable only hand held app. The price of Lost in Harmony is $3.99
at the time I am writing this review. There are plenty of neat things
about Lost in Harmony to like. I just wish this game had been released
on a system with a better control scheme.
