Reception
[edit]The game received mixed reviews; it received praise for the appearance and musical presentation, as well as the peaceful or rela xing ambience and broad range of appeal, though actual gameplay was considered by some reviewers to be limited, lacking complexity, or dull in the long-term.[4] A negative review by Kirk Hamilton inJoystiqdescribed the game as having a 'me too' feel, comparing it unfavourably toFlowerandLimbo.[5]msxbox-worlddescribed it as "[feeling] like an artsy game made by a bunch of businessmen, rather than an artist".[6]
Mouse control was considered not as good as control with a gamepad.[7]
