Ratings and reviews

This game is a masterpiece but you ABSOLUTELY need a controller to play. The graphics can be tiny at times on a phone screen but they are sharp enough to still be visible. I was not able to make it past the first area without a controller, and knowing how difficult and timed some of the later levels are, I can't imagine who could complete it without one. The most beautiful graphics and the loveliest audio - her singing will stick with me for a long time.

Beautiful game, no complains there! Although there were technical bugs, and the controls felt too sensitive and floaty that it was quite frustrating at times with the puzzles. Additionally, level design was confusing at times as many areas looked the same, so a lot of time was wasted on wandering around--not sure if I'm going the right way to progress. Overall, good game, but due to the issues mentioned, it was demotivating to continue the game at times.

I've been wanting to try this game and was excited to see it on Play Pass. Wonderful game, but when I tried it on my phone, the touch screen controls were frustrating. It was hard to make precise jumps, and the positioning was awkward. I connected my Xbox controller to my tablet. It made the gameplay so much easier, and my thumbs weren't covering up a portion of the beautiful landscape. I would strongly recommend either getting this game for pc or having a controller handy.
