The visual update to the game is great and I love that the audio is the same. And, also, it's super reassuring to know that I actually *wasn't* a moron as a child- the game truly does get really really hard after a point. I'm a grown woman and I still can't get through some late-game puzzles without losing some of my guys.

A nostalgic dream. This is a polished up remake of the original 1996 Zoombinis game, and there are some small stylistic differences, but on the whole the game is the same, with the same music, sounds, voice acting and details. If you're after an adventure into your memories, you won't be disappointed! The game itself is wonderful. Gently paced, and not over-stimulating, while still being compelling, addictive and satisfying to play. I adore the minimal movement and careful sound design in each scene; it's immersive yet calming. The premise is very simple, and the logic-based games present an enjoyable challenge. The stakes are as high as your emotional investment: if you allow yourself to get into the spirit of things, you will become very dedicated to aiding as many Zoombinis as possible through the perilous land to freedom. If you just want to enjoy the logic puzzles you can. There is always a risk of losing Zoombinis in a challenge, but they find their way safely back to either a campsite (with hot soup, all ready to eat...) or to the port where their journey began. An enchanting, whimsical and magical game, perfect for relaxation, comfort gaming and mental stimulation. Thoroughly recommended.

I am so glad I finally found this game! I had to google "little blue characters in an adventure, puzzle and logic 90's pc game", Just to find out what it was actually called. I used to book out my primary school library desktop just to play this for one of the break time sessions (and you had to get in early to book this computer that had the game on it). I was so happy when I found out that someone had remade it for modern computer running systems and that it was available in steam! I also had no idea that there were 2 sequels to this original game. It would be cool if they remastered those sequels and put the on steam too as expansion games to this. This is a fun and challenging game. It isn't so simple like new gen. kid games that's for sure! It definitely makes you learn patience so you can think through the puzzles on each level.

This was such a memory from my childhood that I sought it out to replay it. It's exactly as I remember it! Cute characters, funny voice acting, easy puzzle based games. I purchased this purely for the nostalgia and it was worth it! I'd be interested to hear what games are similar to this one or recommended by players.
