Unique, Breathtaking Look And Sound Help Bolster This Pleasant Surprise Among Logic Games

Preliminary: Wow this is very pleasant. Great sound and music but not in the Humongous Entertainment or usual Learning Company way: it's its own aesthetic. Nothing truly spectacular about the Look, but it still has that great mid-90s curvature and coziness. The Sound interludes are where it really shines. The Play is engaging enough for now.

Preliminary: Wow this is very pleasant. Great sound and music but not in the Humongous Entertainment or usual Learning Company way: it's its own aesthetic. Nothing truly spectacular about the Look, but it still has that great mid-90s curvature and coziness. The Sound interludes are where it really shines. The Play is engaging enough for now. I'm not a big fan of math or logic games, but this has been intriguing enough. And intuitive enough.

I want to screenshot the cutscene/s but it (which I normally really appreciate, and do if I have to restart at all) skips cutscenes if you click at all. It's all so rpetty and the music really is amazing. I am able to screenshot this still screen though, which has an amazing water graphic and animation enter image description here

I love the absurd little sounds they make when celebrating/talking. It's like Lemmings or Q Bert.

Okay this frog one is getting a little convoluted for me (which is valid cuz it was starting to feel a bit one-note), but still I played this for over an hour and tried both paths, so I'd say this was a surprisingly enjoyable game! And beautiful!

Look: 8.5/10

Sound: 9/10

Play: 7.5/10 High-up as far as educational logic games go

Feel: 8/10

Attachment: 7.5/10

Overall: 8.1/10
