This game blew my expectations in all ways. I didn't expect to get so emotionally involved, and the puzzles could be challenging at times, but I never felt like they were impossible.

absolutely outstanding, charming graphics and story.... was expecting a walking simulator game with very little game-play.... you get a great and tough platformer with loads of fun references to soo many random and fun things, I get frustrated during platforming so need to take a break now but eager to find out what happens to the little guy

The story is cute and nice. The platforming is incredibly fucking annoying, and gets worse and worse as the game goes on. I also hated all the /fucking/ rhythm heaven minigames. I do recommend the beginning, but I didn't play it until the end.

The gameplay may not be for all, but I love it for what it is: an endearing story-telling adventure filled with platforming and adventure.
