Picked this up because I heard people calling it a "hidden gem" and it cost like, a dollar. It's... fine? Might be a good game for a little kid, but this isn't a "new LocoRoco" game for adults to get excited about. Every level is practically the same, the music is really repetitive, the whole thing just kinda made me feel like my brain was melting. Can't really recommend it.

Simple, tight side scrolling action. My only complaint with it is that the final boss stinks. Other than that? Extremely solid gameplay, great pixel art, great music, awesome characters to play as. All around a good time.

Incredibly short game, but pretty good for the price. I had fun solving most of the puzzles, but I did have to look up the solutions for a couple of more obscure things. I was stuck on the chicken puzzle for longer than I care to admit because I failed to consider that violence would be an option in a game like this, lmao.

I wasn't keen on the story in this at first, but I eventually warmed up to it. Once the second personality core is introduced and starts playing off of the first one, the writing starts to feel more complete. Puzzles were really good across the board and the presentation value was great for a mod. Worth a playthrough for sure.

All things considered this game has aged considerably well. The sense of humor remains charming, the gameplay is above-par for this era of 3D platformer, and the visuals hold up surprisingly well. Happy to say that this one is as good as I remember it being.

I gotta admit, I was initially on team "Dead Space doesn't need a remake," but this thing did a really admirable job of taking all the improvements from DS2 and porting them back to DS1. I encountered a few bugs in my playthrough, mostly puzzle objects breaking or despawning, but nothing that actually halted my pace through the game. Really great!

Genuinely excellent. Loved the surreal visuals and alien atmosphere. I was worried that the puzzles might get overwhelming based on what I was seeing in the trailers, but for the most part everything was so tightly designed that I never felt truly stuck. Makes a good companion piece with games like Tunic and Death's Door.

I had a really nice time with this one. The art and music were excellent and the story really hit hard more than once.

Really good quick arcade game. I loved the expressive cartoony sprite art and the lighthearted sense of humor.
