Cool game. There's something warming about the design. The story is simple but it's nice. Finished the game with the voice control - quite a unique feature. And the wolf... why is it so ominous?
The game failed to surprise or captivate. It was uninteresting.
Very simple and short game. You fly a hot air balloon using wind currents to finish missions. It's slow and boring and looks like a mobile port. It can be finished in 2 hours so it's not too bad but there are much better games out there. The bonus level password is: [spoiler]SOS[/spoiler]
Got as far as the wolf statue because trying to land inside keeps popping the balloon. Using voice is really fun and would be great for Streamers because they like to talk so much. I was reading game manuals, the ingredients of a pop can, and talking my strategy out loud :D. *To the reviewers who complain about 'screaming into the mic', just turn up the sensitivity in options and talk normally.
Beautiful game. It is a little bit short, you can finish it around 1 hour. It takes place in Vilnius which is pretty cool because I love that city a lot.
Terribly boring
