“Great game. The puzzles in this game were very fun and enjoyable. The fighting was kind of lackluster compared to other trine games, but it was something new and fresh.”

“The game delivers beautiful visuals and clever, physics-based puzzles that are fun solo and definitely better in theory for co-op. The game shines in its relaxing, fairytale atmosphere and creative level design, though…”

“As someone who hasn't played any other Trine games, this was a nice little game. The combat feels a bit out of place as it just kinda.. happens. But the 3 different characters you have to switch between constantly to do puzzles keeps the game feeling fresh! My brain doesn't like…”

The puzzles are clever and sometimes pretty challenging, the world is very beautiful, and the controls work smoothly. I do wish some more polish was made with the combat, story, and sound design, but it's…”
