Hey, for the low cost of free, you really can't go wrong with this short little platformer. The graphics are decent, the platforming/jumping controls are pretty tight, and the puzzles (largely movement based obstacles to progress with platforming solutions, rather than actual puzzles) are enjoyable, if a bit simple. Now, the writing (there is no dialogue, so the story-telling is completely visual/gameplay based) is a little weak, especially in regards to figuring out what the heck is actually happening, but you don't really need to understand why there's a golden plague sweeping the land breaking things (?!?!?!) in order to have fun and beat the game. Note that contrary to what the guide says, the achievement for finishing the game in under 7 minutes is not as easy as you might think (I had to try three extra times to get it). Additionally, having unskippable "cut-scenes" that make your movement turn temporarily glacial is just maddening when you have to play through it multiple times to get certain achievements. So, not without flaws, but definitely worth your time and attention. Recommended.2 found this helpful

Short, cute and soothing game. Takes 10-15 minutes to complete the game. Highly recommend!1 found this helpful
too short.
Very short (~15 minutes) but beautiful 2D platformer. An excellent example of visual story telling; and the sound design is also very good.
На любителя... это всё! Приятная музыка и спокойный геймплей! Сюжета я не понял, увы!( An acquired taste... that's all! Nice music and calm gameplay! I didn't understand the plot, unfortunately!(
