Rytmos is a total marvel
I love this description of middle eights almost as much as I love a good middle eight by itself. I love it because it suggests that a song is a journey, that as we listen to it unfold we are covering ground alongside it, within it. And when the middle eight arrives, the ground we're covering shifts and we get a bit of a surprise.
Because Rytmos is a puzzle game there are rules: the line will travel in the direction you choose until it hits an obstacle, and while it can cross itself, it can only terminate back at the starting point. Because Rytmos is a music game, each tower the line passes through triggers a sound that plays over the soundtrack. The more towers you hit, the more sounds you trigger, and as you pass on to the next level in a suite, the sounds you triggered in the previous level will still be audible.
Geoff Dyer once said that even at the best poetry reading the words you're most looking to hear are,"I'll just read two more poems". And - whisper it - that's sometimes the case with puzzle games: I appreciate the brilliance, but I also often look forward to looking back at having played this thing, if that makes sense. It's sometimes easier to enjoy a clever idea in principle and memory than in practice and in the moment.
And that's the key here. So Rytmos is easy? That's not quite right. Rather, Rytmos knows what it wants you to enjoy - the moment where a puzzle comes together , and the moment where a chain of triggered sounds reach a sort of critical mass and become music. The puzzles don't want to interrupt the music you're all collaborating on.
