Cute animations. Puzzles are hard but there's enough walkthroughs out there to help you.

This was a fun game that I enjoyed playing.

The writing and dialogue is really good!

Thoroughly captivating game by someone who plainly enjoyed making it. I sure enjoyed playing it, didn't want it to end.
I know plenty of people that don't normally play/enjoy/appreciate video games, but they would enjoy this.
Retrying without saving was excellent. I did wish the finale had been stretched some.

One of my favorite AGS games. You can't beat its atmosphere (great mix of melancholy and humor) and fun puzzles. However, the ending was way too abrupt - even one new additional background screen would help immensely to reward the player.

This is really a very good game that is absolutely worth playing. The graphics were quite pretty, the writing was pretty well-done, and the puzzles were for the most part well-designed and not frustrating. One visual gag (when the player character puts on the long johns) actually made me laugh out loud. There are a couple of minor weak points (such as the sound effects), but the big problems with this game are how short it is and the lack of a satisfying ending. I wanted more when the game was over, which is a good thing, but I also felt a bit ripped off by the lack of a proper ending, which is not a good thing. Overall, however, it's really a very good game that's well worth playing.

There is not enough to say about this game. This adventure harks back to the wonderment and enjoyment of Kings Quest. It is populated by cute, humorous characters, great writing and great puzzles. It is so worth it, try it and you will not be disappointed.

This was a lovely game - actually very calming & relaxing to play! Great atmosphere.

It truely is a great ADVENTURE game, that focused on taking you on an (albeit short) adventure.

A fun game that has that Sierra feel to it.

I've only just started, but I love the drawings. It looks really good for a first impression. :)

I really enjoyed this nice, cute and funny little game ! It was not too easy, not too hard, not too long, not too short. I finished it without any walkthrough (what is rare ^^) with a lot of enjoyment.
I like the possibility of retrying each time you die.
Well done :)

A great game and defintely worth the download.

Thank you for your talents
