"Staff Runner" is a basic "rhythm runner", think Bit Trip Runner but with worse quality and the intention to teach gamers about how to read sheet music. Run endlessly along a staff and move at the right times to match the notes... it's a yawnfest. As with a lot of educational games, this isn't making music education better, but it is making gaming worse. The graphics aren't great, badly animated astronaut guy and some low effort music staff backdrops.

Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises.
