Ratings and reviews

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.

Fantastic game, never gets boring, sometimes it would bug out on me but over all the graphics are amazing, the controls are great, animation and color scheme were very fun. I had a great time playing this, I got stuck on a few levels but over all it was a good game. Installed it and finished in a few hours, worth the money. Easy controls to work with, I love that it's simple to know where you are going. 10/10 would definitely recommend spending the money, great game to sit down and play through.

This was a very fun puzzle platformer. The story is intriguing, and I would play a sequel just to learn more. The game play is challenging but not punishing, and the frequent checkpoints are very good for a first playthrough. I have only one suggestion. I think a hardmode with much fewer checkpoints would be interesting for people who like a harder challenge. Other than that, my only complaint is that it wasn't longer! This is one of very few games I have felt worthy of a descriptive review.
