The RBR: Fading Memories Guide To Community Games Success:
1. Insert drivelling high concept plot here.
2. Insert anime-esque art here.
3. Insert game that consists of nothing more than trying to defeat a twin stick control scheme to pick up objects here.
4. Threaten more games in the series.
5. Profit!
Here’s that plot for you:
“Artificial brain implants are a necessity for most. With it brings benefits but also danger. If someone were to find themselves the target of mass mental attacks, this would cause a system overload if continually maintained. Your duty is to prolong the life of a person undergoing mental attacks. During this time, collect as many memories as possible before complete system shutdown occurs.”
Here’s the game:
Green blobs come out of your mouth, red blobs are heading towards your head. Quick! Wave both sticks around to stop the red hitting your head and pick up the green ones. Remember: controls may not actually be very good at all.
It’s a bit rubbish.
This title was 200 Points at the time of writing this review but has since been reduced to 80 Points.

I would tag this as “not a game”. Might sell well however if it’d be promoted as “Thumb Sport/Massage/Calibration”.
LOL, thanks for tag.

Yeah, this game seems completely pointless. I really don’t have anything nicer to say.
I think we have a winner for worst Community Game. Seriously, this is worse than Untitled Prologue and ZenHak. And I didn’t even know what to do in ZenHak!
I have to give this game props for one thing. This is the first “control two things independently with the two control sticks” game that hasn’t driven me to madness. Most such games just make my brain feel like it’s been through the wringer, but I was able to grok RBR’s control because I didn’t have to maintain two separate sets of position data for the targetting blobs in my head. Although you can move them independently around the field, they always remain centered on the same point and always self-re-center when the stick is released. Since the position of my thumb on the stick mapped directly to the position of my avatar on the screen, I was able to keep track of both targets at once more easily than in, say, Uberschizoid mode in Schizoid, where the two ships are completely independent.
If you read the description it seems you are trying to keep the Jackers from getting their blobs on her face… It just writes itself!
