Creative idea. Very good platformer.

This is one of the better platformers out there. It's too bad there aren't more games like this. This game is very creative and intuitive. You go inside the minds of other people and explore their thoughts platformer style. You get many moves, and many fun and exciting things to do. In a basic way, it's almost like Psychology 101, where you learn about different aspects of the mind, and have a fun time exploring them.

The game is not perfect though. It is not revolutionary as far as the platformer goes. It has your typical stereotypical hub world, that is apparant in so many platformers. The game is very linear, there is not much to do on the side. It is also a very short game, which is a shame considering it is a very good game. The controls are a little messy. The music is not memorable, the the graphics are good, but not great.

Overall, if you like platformers, they don't get very much better than this. Mix that with the creativity of the game, and this is a very good game overall.
