Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that the game is unbeatable, but there were times when I felt hopelessly stuck, and it's probably one of the longest \"short\" games I've ever played. But I didn't find myself becoming too frustrated despite having more deaths than I can count. This has to do in large part to the game's fantastic soundtrack, which features an experimental electro hip hop score by M-Cue. Even when the game started to feel practically unbeatable, the music kept me coming back for more. The graphics, though minimal, are also great to look at and has a lot of personality to it. Overall, the game is one that can be hard to play and hard to return to, but it's also hard to put down once you do.","2025-02-08T09:13:18.07305-05:00",{"id":78,"logo":92,"name":93,"slug":94,"tags":95,"bluesky":18,"twitter":94,"youtube":96,"facebook":94,"mastodon":18,"muckrack":18,"claimed_at":18,"description":97,"website_url":98,"score_format":45,"average_score":99,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":18,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":100,"news_editor_email":101,"platforms_covered":18,"claimed_by_user_id":18,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":102,"reviews_editor_email":103,"editor_in_chief_email":104,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FShackNews-Logo.jpg","ShackNews","shacknews","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","Shacknewsgames","Gaming News on the Cutting Edge of Technology.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002F",76,"Canton, OH","tj.denzer@shacknews.com","United States","bill.lavoy@shacknews.com","asif.khan@shacknews.com",{"id":106,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":107,"author":108,"original_score":115,"normalized_score":116,"review_url":117,"review_date":118,"summary":119,"created_at":120,"updated_at":120,"author_id":109,"last_edited_at":120,"outlet":121},104153,141,{"id":109,"bio":18,"name":110,"avg_score":111,"outlet_id":18,"created_at":112,"profile_id":18,"updated_at":113,"claim_token":18,"article_count":114,"claimed_by_user_id":18},9099,"Bryan Vore",81.25,"2025-03-26T08:05:12.805918-04:00","2025-03-26T08:22:47.949816-04:00",6,"8.00\u002F10",80,"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002Fgames\u002Fa_city_sleeps\u002Fb\u002Fpc\u002Farchive\u002F2014\u002F10\u002F16\u002Fa-city-sleeps-review-game-informer.aspx","2014-10-16","Harmonix made its name with music-focused games like Rock Band, Dance Central, and Amplitude.
