My first steam game, amazing story, great gameplay, frog ppl, 10/10
This game is so good at delivering a fully self-encompassed story I legitimately categorize it as a work of art. Not ironic "Video games as art" jokery. This game, and Outer Wilds, should get museum displays. Because they're not just great games. They're a legitimate WORK OF ART.
A very nice and pleasant game, with graphics of its time! I am scared of heights so it will take for me a few attempts to finish :D Good choice for relaxing weekend evening.
A great platformer with a cute story to tie it together. A few frustrating moments near the end, but otherwise a good experience. I finished it pretty quickly. As I get older, my appreciation for short and sweet narrative games with fun mechanics increases all the time, and this one did the job well.
A great little platforming game that deserves more love. The grappling hook creates a unique but intuitive platforming mechanic that seems simple at first but every level and equipment upgrade finds new ways to make you master it. The game is short and beatable in 5h or less but is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Its a short story but a good story. Nothing complex just enjoyable. Took about maybe 3hrs to complete. The game introduces and takes away mechanics to make it more challenging as you progress along with simple Unreal engine 3 environments I think I picked up this game in a humble bundle, so not sure. but I had some fun. recommend.
güzl

Very satisfying
