I was looking forward to this one after Rez et al, and was not disapointed. At first the basicness and limited option worried me and I didnt quitre understand the point of not having a save option.

But after weeks and now months of doodling and playing it has a place in my heart not usually reserved for games. This is my Chillout Game, my refuge on a busy train or noisy coffee shop.

It makes me smile, it makes me happy, it calms me down and it provokes that streak of creativity that leads onto other great ideas.

But bottom line, it reminds you how playing and experimenting can open up your mind eyes and ears .

Awesome.
