What players say
This art in this game reminds me a lot of the picture books I used to read in elementary school and I really, really love that! It actually was surprisingly a bit more difficult than some of the other games I've played in this genre, since the objects blend in really well in the background. Still it's a cute little game with some really adorable artwork!!

Didn't take long to finish. There are a couple of really tough-to-find items, but, as you can see from the store page screenshots, the art is very minimalistic. Screens take a colour theme, and as you finish scenes, you gradually keep coming back to the same areas, just to look for different items (sometimes in more areas, as indicated by arrows in the corner of the screens). Love the art style. Interesting take on...
Normally, I like seeing-eye games, but this is just unfun levels of challenge. Multiple screens, random item placement, and monochromatic levels means you have no way of knowing if you've found everything on a screen. The autumn level is borderline impossible with how many leaves and sticks there are to sift through. If you like eye-puzzles and want a challenge, give this a shot, but you will be frustrated.
