May 2025
pros: love the art and story. lots of puzzles. smooth gameplay. cons: lots of dying. couldn't have completed all puzzles without the help of walkthrough. the NPCs' talking/animation speed is really slow... and annoying when i accidentally repeat the dialogue. took me until Act 2 to finally google out how to skip dialogue.

I first played this on Nintendo Switch. I love this game so much. You really do need to pay attention to small details to figure out the puzzles but the art and music are beautiful. Highly recommend getting the soundtrack DLC with it. If you aren't known for patience and get frustrated easily, probably not going to like this game as much as some others do. 10/10 for me.

Beautiful and charming little puzzle adventure game. There are some frustrating moments but overall not too difficult and an interesting world. I love the big frog. Play this if you're a fan of the Samorost or Gobliiins games.

It's a nice puzzle, original enough, and colorful. But I can't help feeling it would benefit a lot from being a point-and-click as opposed to having to actually walk and jump with your character. Teku's moves are clanky and inert, and everything takes him forever to do, everything is unskippable, there is barely any fast travel. Taking into consideration that you'll make mistakes - it's by design, and have to start again a lot, it drove me crazy quickly. But anyway it's nice

I was looking for games for my 4yo son to play and I found this one on a list of games for toddlers somewhere on the Internet and I must say this game is NOT for toddlers. Sure the art is nice and all for kids but the puzzles and game progression process actually requires the player to think what the developer might have done instead of just looking for clues. This game is HARD and so nicely done!
