It's a good game for one evening. Execelent experience and story.

June 2024

This was one of my first games I owned on Steam, and I’ve finally completed it! It has been 8 years since I started it and even in that time, I think it has aged a bit on the graphics side. But the gameplay is still very solid, a bit tricky in some levels but very doable in a bunch of hours! The story is rather simple but it’s nice to have something connect the set pieces together. All in all, I enjoyed my time with this game. I can definitely recommend it, especially if it is on sale! Achievements A total of 15 Achievements with most involving some form of challenging way to beat a level, either a time trial, without falling, or using less than a certain amount of grapples. Some of these are very challenging, especially the time trial ones. There are, however, lots of videos out there for the optimal route to take etc. Plus enabling the console doesn’t disable achievements, should you ever get stuck on something. . Not the easiest game to 100% but very much doable!

I wanted to play this game back in 2014 because it was recommended by TotalBiscuit. I didn’t get the chance to play it until now. Good game. I recommend playing it if you want to just chill and relax. RIP TotalBiscuit

I initially stumbled upon this game while searching for it cause i saw it used as background gameplay on some commentary channel years ago , I found myself captivated by the game and flooded with nostalgia. I would rate the experience a solid 10/10.

Get this game on sale cuz it's super short. The story will tug your heart strings a few times and then all the sudden it's over. But I still enjoyed it
