Ella Stars

I loved my time with Ella Stars. The music is fantastic, and the art is superb. It’s a fun, wholesome game that’s especially enjoyable when you want to unwind after a long day. That said, I wish the level design leaned more heavily into the music itself, especially when it came to the bosses. It feels like a missed opportunity, to better connect the lyrics to the gameplay and use them to tell a story. As it stands, Ella Stars is still a very enjoyable experience, but adding a stronger narrative element could have taken it to the next level.
