    A truly beautiful puzzle game that soothes the mind and engages your imagination as well as your intellect. Perhaps not for the most dedicated puzzle enthusiasts but surely something that will leave most gamers smiling afterwards.

    The kind of puzzle game you can put your feed up and coast through on a laptop, or sit back in your office chair and play at your own pace. [Issue#112, p.122]

    It's very pretty, but for a game so enamoured with the action, it never clicks. [Jan 2012, p.141]

  1. This is a very casual and relaxing puzzle game for all ages. The whimsical artwork and airy soundtrack made it an pleasant escape. The puzzles are challenging enough to be fun, but not impossible. I could see how the die hard puzzle fanatics would fine this too simple, but for just the casual enthusiast, it offers plenty of enjoyment. Expand
  2. Beautiful artwork and soundtrack. Mostly logical, but can be frustrating when you miss one object. Some of the puzzles are very difficult for me, I'm not sure how someone can finish in an hour without cheating. Felt a little anticlimactic at the end in that the last puzzle is by no means the hardest. Still I enjoyed the game overall and liked the music and artwork. Well worth the money I paid for it (it was on sale). Expand
  3. It is beautiful and enjoyable to play. The puzzles are interesting, and some are pretty challenging, but not annoying. But the gaming experience is not very consistent some designs are not very friendly, and could be improved. The biggest flaw is the length. I think most people can finish it in 5 hours. With the inconsistent experience and very short play through, the price of $10 is pretty-overpriced. Fortunately, steam frequently offers very greatly deals of indie games, and you can get it at less than $3, which I think is very worthy. Expand

    The game and sounds are beautiful, but very short. Playing time is less than 1 hr. Consider this and compare with the price you are offered. For what I paid it was way, WAY overpriced for that duration.

    Some of the "puzzles" are in my opinion horribly simple and seem to be there only the make the game longer.
