Words cannot describe...
The art direction is top notch. I was pleasantly surprised how the sand glistens in the sunlight. You would almost mistaken it for silk or water. The design of the world itself is almost minimalistic, but with the right amount of detail to capture its surreal style. Not only is the art direction minimalistic, but the even the character designs and game mechanics. This is truly art in game form.
The music is extremely condusive to the mood and is well orchestrated.
Top memorable moments:
2) Sand skiing sideways through the arches and seeing a glistening city with the mystical mountain in the background
1) Last stretch to the mountain top where you are flying among the jellyfish tapestries :) ..all the while the music is crescendoing.
