Well, it is a pretty game. Sure do wish I could see more of it. Unfortunately, the cursor that is used for shooting on the only available level does not respond to the mouse movements; it merely jitters about while the character moves back and forth. I dig the painted, whimsical art style. This should not be for sale anymore. It's been out since 2008, and hasn't had any fixes (that I'm aware of). I just tried playing it again, to little avail. Fell through platforms and couldn't hit much with the shoot-wherever-lady. Eternity's Child is truly broken, and could not only use a re-visiting by the developer, but it probably needs to be taken down entirely from this and any other store. I can't believe the $4.99 price tag on it. I highly recommend you don't, either.

Thought this was going to be a quick 100% achievement game seeing that there is only four achievements. Man, was I wrong. Even though the graphics are cute, the controls are absolutely terrible.
The next generation deserves a lot better 2D platformers than this, like Bubsy 2D III for instance.
Wow, they actually left this game unfinished and cut their losses. It's not nearly as bad as most negative reviews state, but it is -pretty- bad. And, you know, incomplete, meaning there's a bunch of unbalanced levels and an unsatisfactory ending.
Worst. Game. Ever. Made. "What, worse than Facebook games" you say? You have no idea, son. No idea... All you people who keep buying Bad Rats as a joke gift for your mates really should buy and play this thing, it'll teach you what a REALLY bad game is like.
Oh wow, this game is terrible. Don't touch this one with a ten foot pole, folks. It controls terribly, and the "story" is a parody of itself. I like this game graphically, but I will not waste any more time on this piece of shit.
Years after purchasing it, I still feel burned by this game. Don't let the fabulous artwork fool you, this game will bore you, infuriate you, or both, depending on your patience level. Also, if you're like and thought the story sounded intriguing, know that it's barely present and features deeply pretentuous, unengaging writing that will have you ignoring it pretty rapidly. It's rare to see an indie game this disastrous actually get released. What's galling is that with a lot of polish it could have been something special, but it feels like the designers ran out of time, money, or patience and just threw it into the marketplace. No matter what you're looking for, this game will disappoint you.
This game is just plain awful. I really don't recommend this game. It's basically unfished it even has levels in the games code that were never used. The problem with this game is that they sold this with the promise of more content in the future. Then completely backed out and left this game unfished. There are actually menu options for these chapters and they're just blank. Essentially Luc Bernard sold us a game in beta and never finished it. Imagine buying a game in early access to then have the developer announce they weren't going to finish the game and just left you all with a buggy beta mess. Of course you ask: "But what of the content that is in the game?" It's... average at best. The level design is not interesting at all and all levels are just "find 3 gems and get to the exit." If that sounds boring it's because it is. There is no story in this game save for some scrolling of text and then some poorly written, and unfunny banter between the two main characters in the gam...
An unfinished game that has been abandoned by it's creator. Do not buy.
Looks pretty but impossible to play with the awful controls. It's broken in its current state and should be removed from Steam until fixed. I wish I could have my money back.
