Three things that I firmly believe:
1. Making games about anything that isn't a white/anglocentric narrative (or really any minority narrative at all) means you're doing ten times the lifting in establishing context and meaning for the juries and audiences.

On Games for Impact:
“It's good that it's there, but it's also, in a way, kind of insulting. Because giving a special award for a game for actually meaning something or having some human content... we should be aspiring for that in every category."

In addition to notes you have to tap, Act 4 centers on notes you have to hold. Between Story Mode and the hundreds of Custom Levels made by the community, there's a lot of experimentation with the one-button controls.
