I watched Nanahira's livestream and found it quite cute and interesting, so I bought the game. Even though I'm not sure if this is the first indie game to use nested control schemes, the game is definitely interesting. But honestly, after a little thought and figuring out the controls, it's actually much simpler than it looks. btw this pixel-style 2D game was actually made using the Unity engine. I'm completely baffled. 8 out of 10
