Spastic

I just tried to play "game, game...." And I couldn't. The graphics were so spastic and annoying that I didn't even finish level two. I tried, believe me, but I couldn't stand the animation--it simply drove me away from the screen instead of drawing me in.

I just went back and tried to deal with it again--this time passing into the 3rd level before realizing that I should have had my sound on. The soundtrack drives me even further insane--I really really dislike it. But this time I put up with it through level five before being forced to quit by my overloaded senses. While I don't like the style, I do like the way that running into things doesn't necessarily "kill" you or send you back to start. It's interesting that some elements are important to encounter, because without them, you wouldn't be able to progress toward the end goal. And in all, I suppose the spasticness could be a comment on life as well, making this another version of the message in Passage.
