This game is the only one I know of that actually has succeeded in making a game in the league of "Another world" and "Flashback".

The gameplay is mostly great. It has some platforming with some action but focuses on puzzles. The puzzles are slightly too easy but mostly just good and logical. You still feel like you accomplished something even though a lot of them are easy.

You will die often because of a bad jump or the like but the checkpoints are of plenty so no need to worry. This is fine for me. The game is slightly stiff on purpose to emulate the old games like the one previously mentioned, I think.

The story is fine but has some major flaws. The beginning when you steal a spaceship is played out. This feels like a way too long tutorial. “Flashback” and “Another world” just showed us how they got to a new strange planet. That was better I think. Half the game, two times, you do three different trials. This makes the story go in to a halt and you just go from there to there to finish puzzles that doesn't lead to anything until you've finished all three. This could of been handle better with some better writing I think. Talking about writing. There is an anticlimactic end that should of been solved by giving us more story as we went along so that the ending could be as short as it was. Now we're just left with questions about a ton of details.

To boot, the ending level is ♥♥♥♥. They tried to up the ante a bit but it just showcases the shortcomings of the platforming and is an infuriating mess.

Even though I complain a lot i really liked the game. Way I’m so angry about the writing is the fact that I really liked the gameplay and that I almost loved the story.
