April 2025
Completado entre marzo y abril del 2025 en unas 10 u 11 horas, con todos los logros. Me ha encantado, me ha parecido una maravilla, encaja perfectamente con mis gustos. No es propiamente una aventura point&click, dado que el ratón no se utiliza para nada, el personaje se controla con un puñado de teclas del teclado. En este sentido, y por algunas de las mecánicas, puede considerarse un juego de plataformas 2D. Pero, por otra parte, como aparecen tantos personajes y objetos con los que interaccionar, ciertamente se trata de una videoaventura clásica en toda regla. Los escenarios son muy variados, y los puzzles muy interesantes, y en general, novedosos. No son excesivamente complicados, y desde luego, no son caprichosos, como he leído en alguna crítica. Pienso que el juego ofrece pistas suficientes para resolverlos todos. Lo más difícil puede ser dar con dos o tres porciones de escenarios que quedan más bien ocultas tras el abigarrado diseño, que, por otra parte, es de lo mejor del juego, y casa perfectamente con el mismo. No he apreciado repeticiones, ni abusos que nos obliguen a utilizar las herramientas y capacidades que se le proporcionan al personaje hasta aburrirnos. Todo me ha parecido muy equilibrado, y la duración total, la adecuada. Sólo lamento no haber conocido antes esta genialidad de juego, porque ciertamente, lo compré por menos de un euro este 2025, y me pregunto cuánto puede haberles llegado del mismo a los desarrolladores a estas alturas, y si en su momento, al publicarlo en 2016, lograron sacarle los beneficios que merecían. Por mi parte, me lo anoto como muy, muy rejugable. Se me escapó el primer logro opcional durante la partida, y al volver a iniciar una nueva y jugar los primeros diez minutos para conseguirlo, he vuelto a sentir el mismo asombro, interés e intriga que cuando comencé la primera tres o cuatro semanas antes.

Beautiful and charming little puzzle adventure game. There are some frustrating moments but overall not too difficult and an interesting world. I love the big frog. Play this if you're a fan of the Samorost or Gobliiins games.

It's a nice puzzle, original enough, and colorful. But I can't help feeling it would benefit a lot from being a point-and-click as opposed to having to actually walk and jump with your character. Teku's moves are clanky and inert, and everything takes him forever to do, everything is unskippable, there is barely any fast travel. Taking into consideration that you'll make mistakes - it's by design, and have to start again a lot, it drove me crazy quickly. But anyway it's nice

I was looking for games for my 4yo son to play and I found this one on a list of games for toddlers somewhere on the Internet and I must say this game is NOT for toddlers. Sure the art is nice and all for kids but the puzzles and game progression process actually requires the player to think what the developer might have done instead of just looking for clues. This game is HARD and so nicely done!

I love this puzzle game. It makes me think. It makes me react fast. It gives me desperation to look up the walkthrough. A very unique game. Good story. Nice illustrations.
