I received this product as a review copy from the team involved in the play testing and development of the project. They informed me it was fun, had charm, and was a family friendly game.

I can attest that from my about 30 minutes of active game play, it has two out of three.

The Good:
You're a cute storm cloud that is trying to eliminate anything that tries to destroy the environment. Maybe? It's hard to tell, as the tutorial, adventure mode, and puzzle mode were very stingy with the clues. But the cloud is cute. The graphics are cute, and the whole thing is, well, cute.

The Mediocre:
A lot. Like, a lot a lot. The tutorial doesn't seem finished for a v1 game, the controls are inconsistent between levels and stages, and the objectives and game mechanics aren't spelled out in the tutorial. All of this could be forgive able, except, then we get to the bad.

The Bad:
The controls are WASD E/F, [TAB], Shift, RMB, and LMB. You can remap a few of those keys, but not all.
The game has 6 or 8 abilities, depending on how you qualify the term, and there's a weapon wheel to select them.
Oh, except the scroll wheel doesn't hot swap. The numeric buttons 1-6 do swap. But that's not labelled anywhere.
Oh, and when you do press tab to bring up your weapon wheel, all of your other controls are still unlocked. Hopefully you're not on lightning and misclick on the wheel to toggle to another weapon and wind up bolting your objective causing a game over screen.

There was a demo, but then the demo was pulled after the game went live, so if you want to try this game, it's going to cost you $9.99.
Except it's horribly optimized.
Badly.
So if you do buy this game for $10, and want to give it a fair shake, you're going to not really have a LOT of time. I spent about 10-15 minutes trying to just get to a point where the game was ready to play.

Like full screen mode on an i5 with 16gb of ram, a 1060GT with 6GB of RAM had frame stuttering, slowdown, and noticeable choking while going through the settings screens. Not that there was much there to setup.
This game is VERY tiny. It's super undemanding, and it was like I was trying to boot up ARK.

The REALLY bad:
The developers socials are... well the Discord is... well it's empty. Except for a small argument between someone who made audio assets for the game and a dev.
And a LOT of random screen shots of the game.

And oh, most of the things I've listed in this review, being pointed out, almost a year ago.

And that's not counting the X/Twitter for the developer.

Every 4th or 5th Twitter post is a religious quote. There's a place for religion, politics, and the other third rails in the world. That place is not the Twitter account of an indie developer who pulls their game demo on a half complete game and appears to be trying to run off with $9.99 from Steam patrons one lost hour of life at a time.

This is quite possibly the best game I have played in a decade.
