Short game at less than 20 mins. Would recommend for younger children and someone that has only a few minutes to kill waiting on their other to get ready. Cute. Not much story or difficulty.

This is a nice little point and click game where you have to clear the path for a little alien baby. It really is incredibly short. It took me 15 minutes and I think it would have taken even less time if I'd been able to click on some of the areas more easily. It's also quite dark which is a shame because the graphics are rather nice.

Short, easy, pretty. Good for relaxing. Kids might be able to play, but may need some guidance due to the abstract nature of the game. Without a clear stated goal at the beginning you really don't know what's going on or what to do or even how to progress. For a short, straightforward game like this that's okay. Be curious. Click around. See what happens.

tldr: Not a bad way to pass 10 minutes + It's free, No reason not to play really. Pros: The art. The whole thing is pretty cute. Cons: Pointless white-noise music, the screen is dark most of the time so you can't see the objectives you're frantically clicking on. And you'll be frantically clicking a lot. The puzzles are too easy as well.

Short but beautifully presented tale of a baby alien starting out on its journey of life. Simple puzzles, no terror, very relaxing.
