I really admire the minimalism of this platformer. Every frame in the game seems like a generative art piece; I think its absolutely beautiful. The game progresses in a really interesting way, the harder it is, the faster the music and the more colourful it gets. The visuals are not just minimal, there is a bareness or imperfection to them that I find very interesting. I think the aesthetic is very appealing, it reminds me of my early dabbles with Microsoft Paint, but someone made a game out of it!

I found this project surprising because it is a music album that engages users in the creation of the music. This concept is very innovative and fresh. For starters, I like the idea of making the consumers makers themselves and allowing them to express their own creativity, but I haven’t seen that done in the music industry yet. The visual design is also beautiful.

I like the idea of building a physical spotify radio. I really liked the minimal design, and I prefer physical radios to just an online radio. However, I feel that computationally the project did not take advantage of the benefits of online radios. The radio is linked to a large database of audio content, but this content isn’t used. I think there could be a multitude of interesting applications that the designer didn’t take advantage of such as contextually aware music or even sharing your friends’ playlists.
