What players say
This was an amazing experience. It looks like a simple game at first glance, but it's more than that: the levels can get pretty hard and enjoyable, but what really takes this a step further is the soundtrack. Christopher Larkin really made some amazing, emotional, delicate, and rich music for this game. Did I get emotional over a square and some circles? Yes. Do I reccomend the game? Of course I do. It's so cheap...
