I think its an ok game but it needs two buttons for jumping and using your light. It feels dumb swiping up on the right side of the screen to jump. As far as the game goes its kinda boring and the idea of playing in the dark doesnt excite me. I played a few levels but I think its just not that good for $5. I tried it with the play pass so at least I didnt lose $5.

Gorgeous and immersive. Visuals and sound design are fantastic, it has a cute "storybook" type story, and the gameplay has a casual feel to it, focusing more on the immersion. Movement is stiff in gesture controls, use on screen buttons. But overall a great experience. Definitely one of my favorites hidden in the never ending pile of near identical "free" games today.

Perfect. This is just a perfect game and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Controls were crisp, beautiful settings and puzzles were well balanced. I'll be looking for additional titles from this developer. Thanks for a great gaming experience. Unfortunately its rare finding an enjoyable game on mobile these days so I like to give credit where credits due.
