What players say
I picked up this little gem on sale for around $3. Bargain of the century ! Amazing game, a complete mystery at purchase. Trailer looked cool and at 90% off, why not take a chance. And I am glad I did. The story follows an origami figure that can fold into other creatures, which gives certain powers to overcome certain obstacles. Premise is simple though genius and charming. The game is a linear platform but not 2D...
1 more review, not recommended
I don't think I'd recommend this game. Most of it is fun, with clever puzzles, good visuals and a nice soundscape. I enjoyed most of my time and the whimsy of playing around in different shapes. But it's not a casual game, despite appearances. The cons suck the joy from the positives, which is compounded by the ridiculous boss battle in Melody. Sections where you die over and over again because of the poor depth...
