AGS Panel Review
"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!"
22 people commented on this game (newest first):
The only thing I didn't like was the lack of several "Save" slots; it'd be nice to go back to different places and just look around, without having to start over or go back and forth or whatever, but that's a minor quibble (probably cuz I'm weird).
All in all, this' a great game and one you must play.
We are looking for more games like this one :)
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.
Nice puzzles.
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.
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!
I didn't enjoy the story and the athmosphere as much as in Annie Andriod, but the puzzles were really interesting and well designed!
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.
Fav puzzle was the lamp-post level, abstract puzzle but made sense! Awesome!
Only one serious flaw... There's not more to play! ;)
Play it now!
