Old School Musical follows brothers Tib and Rob on a humorous adventure through game-inspired worlds, where they set out to discover where bugs in games come from.
Match notes arriving from four directions to the beat of chiptune music. Your timing drives on-screen action, including sword swings and spacecraft fire, as the brothers move through each level.
Story mode is joined by Arcade, which lets you replay tracks, and Chicken Republic, a separate chicken-focused challenge. The game also includes multiplayer for up to four players.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the chiptune soundtrack and the stream of retro-game references, which give the levels and pixel-art scenes a nostalgic feel. Many also enjoy the silly humor and story, while some appreciate the straightforward rhythm play and extra modes. A number of reviewers find later challenges difficult, and some report distracting visual effects or problems with timing and input registration.
