Sights & Sounds
- Very interesting art style throughout, though some areas (the city and palace in particular) are more inspiring than others
- The music is fine; it didn't add or subtract from the experience
Story & Vibes
- It's a simple, bittersweet tale about family and overcoming loss
- Despite the dark parts of the story, the game's mood never feels depressing or mournful. I feel like the themes could have been explored a little more
Playability & Replayability
- The game controls fine, but that's because all you can do is walk, climb, jump, and shoot
- The central mechanic of firing paint or water to progress is neat. The twists they put on the simple mechanic are creative, but I feel like the idea could have been explored further
- I don't think I'll be replaying this one. The balloon collecting wasn't fun enough to warrant another playthrough
Overall Impressions
- The game ran flawlessly the whole way through
- After finishing, I was left wanting a bit more. Is the "unfinished" thing a gag? Whatever the case, the experience wasn't as fulfilling as I had hoped it would be
Final Verdict
- 6.5/10. Get it on sale if you like the art style. It's a short (2.5-3 hour) game that looks pretty and has a few cool tricks but will leave you wanting more from your experience
