Very beautiful adventure game, but way too easy and too expensive

Difficulty:
Very Easy
Time Spent:
10 Hours or Less
The Bottom Line:
"Mixed reactions"
First, the good stuff:

This is a very beautiful adventure game, a lot of work was put into the graphic. It reminds me of the old adventure games. You direct you little robot, and you pick object and use them to solve puzzle.

Now, the bad stuff:

This is a FLASH game. So the stability of the game is based on the stability of the Adobe Flash Player (it crash twice on my computer). Next time, I hope they use a more stable platform.

The adventure is short, EXTREMELY short. The puzzle are easy and the game can be finished in less than 2 hours. Replay value is zero. For 19.99$ (on Steam), I expected a much bigger challenge. This game feels like art. It's beautiful, but way overpriced.

Recommendation: If you want a small adventure game to pass the time, this game is perfect, but please, wait for the price to be 0.99$. Beyond that, you are wasting your money.

  2. I recommend this great game to all the adventure lovers. It's unique visual is on the level of Psychnauts and Okami. However, for those who might get stuck, those are the solutions to some puzzles :-)
