“Pretty good overall. Has great puzzles and the animations and SFX are simple, but add a lot to the game. Fantastic for the price though. Will be playing the sequel one in the future.”
“I think I got this as part of a Humble Bundle at some point, so the total cost would have been equivalent to a few bucks. For that price I think it's a worthy little puzzler with some charming sci-fi art and a fun…”
