Ratings and reviews

This isn't a game it's a life changing experience. The music, animation and the story (as simple as it is) is phenomenal. The best game I've ever played. It challenges you in way i didn't even think was possible. The balance between everything is amazing, the simplicity of the controls balances perfectly with the complexity of using them. I love the art style. The ending is so bittersweet, it took a part of my soul. 10/10

Well done! I've never played a platformer with such smooth control scheme and manoeuvrability. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I don't quite understand what the story is exactly trying to convey here. However, it seems pointless for this little guy to do what he was doing, he is very determined. My legs are tired as my thumbs on his behalf. Thank you for an enjoyable game (aren't many around, I should know - I have half the play store on my phone)

DISCLAIMER: I wouldn't recommend this game on mobile. -- I just completed the entire game on my phone, and it was great! The art was great, and the puzzles were challenging in a very fun way. My only issue is that this game was clearly not intended for mobile. It was intended for PC or an actual gaming console; the controls for a mobile device are very buggy. When you click to jump, there's a 50% chance he won't jump; which is terrible for timed jumps and is frustrating, makes it less fun.
