Considering I was able to beat it in about an hour, the intention is definitely to go back after you've completed it and try to get a gold rank on every level. This is a score attack type of game where you're always trying to get a high score, and it moves really fast. Unless you're some sort of gaming savant, you'll probably only get silver or bronze ranks on your first go around. Every level throws something unique at you, so things never really get stale. One second you're flying through the air gathering hearts, the next you're timing a button press just right in the middle of a swordfight, and after that, your bike is firing lasers at some flying skulls. The game will also switch things up constantly.

It's kind of like a reverse shoot 'em up, as you're on rails and you have to change lanes to gather hearts and avoid obstacles. You essentially listen to some pretty catchy pop music, and then try to gather hearts as your character zooms forward. The gameplay reminded me of a cross between Rez and Audiosurf.
