You need to adjust the in-game Brightness properly.It's not nostalgia. To me it's mainly that the game looks washed out, like it has a gray filter.
The online multiplayer features of this game have me pretty confused. I'll occasionally see someone else in game and be asked to pass judgment on them at the end without really having seen them or even knowing what their final score on that level is?
Also are there any leaderboards?
Yeah it's kinda bizarre to be honest. I just more or less ignore it and rate everyone as stylish because who cares. No leaderboards that I know of.
