Jan. 2025

Loved every minutes of this game: stunning art, nice compelling story and a good amount of puzzles. I will miss the lovely Teku!

Dec. 2024

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.

Dec. 2024

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

July 2024

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!

April 2024

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.
