Great Game For Offline Use

The game is great. I’m a big fan of Nitrome games since the big Miniclip era. It’s a great challenge and get what they tried to do with this game. A lot of patience and control changing mechanisms (despite it being a two screen split control. You’ll see when you play).
My only complain is the achievement center. There is only 242 doves to complete the game. I got all the achievements. But seeing the global board, there’s someone that completed 253 doves. Where are these secret levels or where are these doves? I looked everywhere but no information about them?
That’s my only reasoning for giving it 4-5 stars. Great game though!

Great game

It’s a very fun game where trying to master the difficult and at times frustrating controls is part of the fun

Weird controls, but really good!

Feels like a gameboy game. The music is awesome, it’s challenging but fair, and mastering the controls is very rewarding. If you get too into it you can collect all the doves too, which gives it a little more longevity. Also employs simple yet effective storytelling.

amazing!!

all in this game is extremely perfect and beautiful, gorgeous and delicious!!
it’s hard but as a oldschool aesthetic game we know it can’t be different.
the only bad thing about this game is that ends.

Frustrating controls that you fight against

Has all of the fun of maneuvering a semi-truck around a parking lot at 40mph.
Otherwise, a very beautiful game. Wish I knew what will happen in later levels, but I have enough frustration in my life. No thank you.
