I object to this being classified as shovelware. Would you be willing to give a justification?
It was very close between Tchia and Venba for my 2023 pick, but I really liked how immersive the tropical feel was in this one! It may not sound as authentic to its country as my other noms (the game even has songs featuring New Caledonian locals that I didn't pick), but it does bring you the singing voices of the developers behind the game! Their slight lack of coordination actually sounds right for a live performance in a tropical village. I'm now realizing that this is literally happy town music, so it feels like an encouraging result for future happy town noms?
