2.5 Stars. The gameplay is pretty simple and straight forward; it's a puzzle platformer. There are sequences that are reminiscent of other games, but it is primarily a puzzle platformer. The puzzles aren't even that difficult and solutions are often pretty straightforward. This game has very clunky controls; I found that a gamepad worked best for me, especially in sequences that required you to move or act very quickly. The mouse was my least preferred method and the keyboard controls were okay at best; they sort of feel like the old Prince of Persia game from 1980s. The story is alright, but nothing special. The clunky controls are often what caused me to die, but death is not very punishing. The game restarts you on the same screen and you don't lost too much progress. It's an okay game that's not very challenging; if you like playing easy games just for their stories then you will probably like it. Pixel graphics are okay (it's not as gorgeous as Hyper Light Drifter per se) and music is decent. Overall, a passable and somewhat mediocre game.
