Something So Simple - So Fun

I originally heard about this game from a rooster teeth podcast over a decade ago. Never finished (did not know there was an end)

This game makes me miss what gaming/mobile gaming use to be.

I recommend - kill some time, Revisit, and definitely enjoy this still 1 of 1 experience

Good but not very long

Can be beaten in a day but it’s a good day

As good as it was 13 years ago

I couldn't recommend this game enough, while I'll never get over the twists and turns of first playing it, it's still a game I enjoy revisiting.

Unbelievable game

Such an amazing experience, never played anything like it. Cannot recommend highly enough.

One of the best mobile games ever

Honestly this is one of the BEST mobile games I’ve ever played. It scratches every itch. No pay to win. No ads. Just straight up great gameplay. Thank you to the team.
