Pro Each world had its own visual designer as well as musical artist
Each world (album) in the game has a different feel due to being designed by different visual designers as well as having different musical artist do the soundtracks. Being that the levels are designed around the music in each there is definitely a individualistic feel to each that exudes the "look" of the music.
Cons
Con Never ending learning curve
The game is pretty hard to master as the learning curve is almost never ending. This can be frustrating for completionists or those who just want to master a game's mechanics.
Con Syncing saves between devices can be troublesome
Having to send saves to other devices is a bit frustrating not only in the fact that it has to be manually done but in that it is also buggy.
