  • Clever, thought provoking

    This game is both challenging and easy. Enjoy the mind meddling banter as you make your way through a series of levels that will make you question everything you love about gaming. Genius. Must play for any gamer.
  • A good idea, but poorly utilised

    I don't buy many games on the App Store these days but I just couldn't resist this. It seemed like such a great, imaginative and twisted take on of my favourite genres. The controls are great (most of the time anyway) and I really like the minimal graphics.

    The problem is it's very short and very easy. It takes about half an hour to finish and I couldn't find any motivation to play through it again. There seems have been more time spent trying (and failing) to be profound and insightful into the nature of video games and why we play them than there was to make a good game.

  • Wow

    This isn't a game. This is friggin art.. You basically play your way from room to room, your only motivation to hear the next line of dialogue. It's like playing a poem. A dark poem. Where you use your own corpses to complete the levels. The soundtrack is amazing as well. Only one track but it loops and it's so good that it doesn't matter.

    Atmosphere-10/10
    Controls-9/10
    Replay value-9.5/10

    The game loops after you "beat" it, but chances are you haven't memorized every level so playing it again around 30 min later is just as rewarding.

  • Surprising

    Got bored in the first few minutes but couldn't stop. Kept playing for about half an hour and seemed to have completed it. Then I wanted to do it again with fewer deaths. Then again. Then again. Then I found a secret place which took me to some orange world that I'm stuck on. Then my battery ran out.
    It's a simple addictive puzzle platformer using a good idea and the constant feeling I'm being messed kept me playing. Recommend.

    Edit: Completed the game in an hour or so. At least I think I did. Credits appeared anyway.
