Manipulated

PROS: There are simple yet intricate puzzles. They're interesting. Sometimes too vague, and platforming back and forth to solve them is a pain, but they're generally good. CONS: The platforming and mechanics. All of it. Especially the boss fights, and especially-especially the last one, which tests you patience. Other: If you're compelled to play it because others say that the ending was good: it's nice and fits the narrative (almost), but not mind-blowing or surprising, and not true to its name; it's a spoiler if I'd explain why, so I'll stop at that. The best thing about this game is the promotional video, which you already saw at this point (if not, just go back up there to watch it).

Terrific puzzles, bad platforming, terrible combat.

Good Game for the price.

[i]This game does require an ability to think.[/i] ~Game description. It require also: * A bit memory * Platformer shooting skill * Good eyes * Good listening skill - The "worst" think is to figure out the code you have to enter + You not losing HP if you traveling with her soul- is very usefull by testing some ways without the risk to repeat the level I by myself pass the half game (w/ 100% each level)- it is a fair game but I give up. Can you finish... without getting [i]manipulated[/i] ?

Charming puzzle game with good humor. It doesn't fully deliver on the advertised concept, but comes close enough to be well worth $5. It also does a good job of communicating controls/game concepts without an obnoxious tutorial. The biggest downside is the platforming and combat. Controls are clunky, and your options for dealing with enemies are very limited. The game also rates you on whether you take damage in a level as part of the 'completion percentage', sometimes this is completely at the whim of the random behavior of enemies, so completionists be prepared to restart repeatedly or give up on getting the full score. There are many situations where skill and thinking will not help you in a fight. Bosses will often stun-lock you as you jump over them and fly you into a hazard, either instant-killing or holding you there until you run out of health. Enemies will sometimes synch up with platforming sections such that you have to suicide into them or restart from checkpoint. Difficulty in fights is largely due to health pool and very little else. The game may have been better (although a little short) if combat had been left out entirely. Over all the core concept makes up for…

I stumbled upon this game by accident, glad I did. It runs very well on an old MacPro. The platforming elements are well executed, Im grateful for the hints as I find some of the puzzels hard. Many thanks to the developers
