The newest game in the Cotton series came out earlier this month, and I finally had time to sit down and try to beat it! It was honestly a lot easier than I anticipated; with the sole exception of the train stage having tons of obstacles that straight up killed me, I only had like one or two deaths per stage and got this 1cc on the first attempt. It plays much like Cotton Rock n' Roll, only that the stages are in a linear order this time around. Music's pretty good, and the visuals seemed pretty nice! ...The only catch is that apparently my PC wasn't strong enough to run this at 1440p or even 1080p without framedrops, so I had to drop this to 900p in order to get a consistent 60fps. Hopefully this is just a weird issue that'll get patched out?

If there's one thing that actually kinda bothered me, it's that the cutscenes can drag on quite a bit compared to the actual stages. The biggest offender to me was the cutscene right after the train stage, where the story just slowed to a crawl as they tried to explain how to destroy a barrier that was blocking the way to the castle, and it just kept going. The cherry on top was that the stage right after was another rail shooter bonus stage that was over in like a minute, tops. To be fair, this is only a minor issue because I can just skip these on a repeat playthrough, and the story is otherwise alright (even if it is a bit on the sillier side, as usual for the Cotton series).

Overall, pretty solid game! I get the feeling I'll be replaying this quite a bit!
