I can't be the only one who's loving Emerald Rush, right? It isn't perfect—I'm not sure I want to be doing math while playing Donkey Kong—but the way it makes you really pay attention to the levels is making me appreciate their design on a much more granular level. It's easy to miss how clever they are when you're blazing straight from one banana map marker to another, but when you take in everything they're doing, there are a ton of interesting little scenarios for you to experiment with. The level of attention I'm having to use to understand what's going on is making me appreciate the aesthetics so much more too. This game is gorgeous.
