Make too many mistakes and you'll fail the level, but stay perfect long enough and the rabbit will turn into an angel and boost your high score. The most remarkable thing about Vib-Ribbon is that, as someone who has never played it before, it feels to me completely fresh despite being released three console generations ago. A lot of this has to do with the minimalist visual style, which almost makes it feel like a modern indie release. The graphics are a bit jaggy, sure, but infused with so much personality that it's fun to just watch the rabbit jump around. When you get a high score, it sings you a little song. The soundtrack is equally fantastic, with six quirky pop songs from Japanese band Laugh & Smile. The songs fluctuate between genres, and I've found myself replaying levels multiple times just to hear them again. One of Vib-Ribbon's defining features back in 1999 was the ability to generate new levels based on your music.
