Unlike others, the clever and cute narration was not clever nor cute enough to overcome the boring nature of the gameplay. I'm not much into platformers any more; platform design centers around asking questions which I don't care much to answer. I don't know if I can make that jump or not; oh looks like not. Guess I'll try one or two more times. OK, I'm done.
Like the voice actor very much though.

Review drumsfellow 5/5 · Jun 3, 2013

A beautiful game.

The gameplay wears a bit thin, but the charming story was enough to keep me going to the end and enjoying it.
