-1 Dream Trigger -- Rant in spoiler. tl;dr version is WHY'D THEY GOTTA MAKE IT SO HARD?! THE CONTROLS SUCK! THE CONCEPT SUCKS!
Biggest disappointment, fortunately for my bank account it was a gift. I like chaotic space shooter games (Beat Hazard is my favorite single player game and I play it in Insane difficulty) and this game looked psychedelic enough.
The transition from the tutorial to the first freaking level of map mode is effin crazy. This game is a rhythm based puzzle game with some pretty 3D effects but it requires a ridiculous insane psychotic level of coordination for a handheld game. Why in the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF did they have to make the first level so difficult. It's like only the devs tested this game, and they had the benefit of completely understanding the intended control scheme before developing it.
I died in the first level at least 20 times before realizing that I did understand the controls, the game was just designed to be way too hard right off the bat for me to adjust and actually enjoy it. There's no difficulty adjustment setting so that I can faceroll til I get used to the game enough to play it well. I just die too damn fast to get better at it BEFORE I get too pissed off to keep playing it.
