AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: This relatively short but puzzle-packed adventure sees the player planet-hopping to colorful worlds in search of a way back home. Going from one puzzle directly to another may bother some people, but anyone who enjoys a game where the focus is flexing your mind will find a lot to like here!

Posted by Biges on 2010-07-19 at 17:12 (IP logged): Very nice game with excellent script, graphics and nice logical puzzles. And of course the controls is uses is good. We are looking for more games like this one :) Posted by Mark on 2010-01-21 at 22:34 (IP logged): Just played this through again today... It's definitely my favourite Ben304 game! :) Lovely bit of bitesize adventuring. Puzzles were nice, the art style fitting perfectly with the tone of the story and I love the narrator! Big thanks! P.S. I found a bug, though: the lady in the door world appears again if you use the door again. Hope that wasn't spoilery. Posted by SKYY on 2009-09-26 at 06:04 (IP logged): Excellent! One of the best sci-fi themed AGS games yet. Posted by AndyfromVA on 2009-09-16 at 22:30 (IP logged): Very innovative. Excellent game. Posted by azerty on 2009-04-21 at 21:18 (IP logged): Nice puzzles, but i didn't like the philosophy at the end. Posted by Jimmy Shelter on 2009-04-05 at 11:52 (IP logged): Great game. The graphics seem simple, but are really atmospheric. Nice puzzles. Posted by arj0n on 2009-03-12 at 10:54 (IP logged): Again a Top Notch delivery from Ben304. As usual. Posted by mdyoung40 on 2009-03-07 at 22:41 (IP logged): one of the best games around.go from one puzzle to another,great,loved the game,lets have more like it. Posted by paolo on 2009-03-05 at 13:34 (IP logged): Ben does it again! If I could post a sound clip of a crowd clapping and cheering, I would. This was great! Posted by robvalue on 2009-03-05 at 12:54 (IP logged): Highly recommended, an interesting and pretty original game which held my attention all the way through. Posted by Eglamore Crownswhip on 2009-03-05 at 08:17 (IP logged): What a ride at full speed through worlds full of wonder! What a dazzling experience of the most venturesome kind, I say! I have seen dimensional laws being bent, the very laws of shape and matter being mocked, but never occured to me such an egregious breach of physics and geometry as on this journey! Tears of joy bedewed my countenance when finally all was unraveled, as I felt I had ventured closer towards one of the last great frontiers of our time: The universe. Posted by neon on 2009-03-02 at 19:02 (IP logged): A very nice and cute game with very cool music, nice puzzles, wonderful backgrounds and animations. Play it now! Posted by OneDollar on 2009-03-02 at 14:52 (IP logged): Awesome graphics (as usual) and good work on the sound and music as well. The puzzles had a good difficulty level - I got stuck once or twice but not for too long - and the story, while not gripping, was certainly interesting. There's a few 'look at' and one or two 'use' interactions missing, but nothing serious. I'm annoyed at how long the lamp post puzzle took me to solve though :D Definitely recommended! Posted by Helme on 2009-03-02 at 11:26 (IP logged): Another fine, short game by Ben. I didn't enjoy the story and the athmosphere as much as in Annie Andriod, but the puzzles were really interesting and well designed! Posted by Peder Johnsen on 2009-03-02 at 08:47 (IP logged): Another great game from Ben304! I am amazed how quick he is and still makes it a good quality game! Now get a decent internet connection and make a talkie version! ;D. Posted by Strange Visitor on 2009-03-01 at 20:43 (IP logged): Beautiful graphics and entertaining gameplay...really great work! :) Posted by Shonen-Ai Guy on 2009-03-01 at 18:07 (IP logged): Awesome Game Guys, Ben I loved it, favorite planet was the 'tower' with the golem in it, loved the lighting effect! (source lines) Fav puzzle was the lamp-post level, abstract puzzle but made sense! Awesome! Only one serious flaw... There's not more to play! ;) Posted by bicilotti on 2009-03-01 at 12:53 (IP logged): I've had the pleasure to beta test "Shifter's Box": this game is simply marvellous. I never had so much fun solving puzzles since the times of "Cedric and the revolution". Play it now!
