What players say
Cute but very short indie platformer that despite its small playtime experience shows a lot of heart and plus the developer has such a awesome logo!
The controls are janky they feel slippery, but it is something I can put up with... The piano part is making me LOSE. MY. MARBLES!! I have not gotten angry at a game in agess at least to this extent Besides that the premise is nice, the story is nice, and the art is nice. I'm still tying to 100% it as proof of my worth i did it and i take back the negative review although still PEAVED i feel accomplished
The controls are very poor, it wouldn't be a bad game otherwise. It has also reset my save file three times now and though I've beaten the game I was going back for one last missed fishbone and now I have to start from the very beginning AGAIN. I had to use the Steam Override on the controls for it to even be playable in the first place. Honestly it'd be a really cute game otherwise but the resets and the control...
