*Gnome Seal of Approval* A pretty good game for its price. The characters are funny and the art in general is pretty darn good. However, it does feel a bit tedious and unintuitive at times. I was on the fence whether I'd recommend this or not, but ended up on a thumbs up because of the positive points mentioned above.

The game's got a lovely art style (although it's a bit of a shame that the palette is so dull) and a nice feel to it, but many of the puzzles are quite farfetched and I had to resort to using one of the steam guides to be able to complete it. It's not a bad game, but it lacks variety.
I discovered the demo long time ago and fell in love with it, so I was a big pile of love when the complete version came out. It's a pretty entertaining game, it can become very repetitive, but you kinda want to keep going until you finish it. The puzzles are great, made me feel so stupid sometimes, but it was fun trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. The artwork OMG <3 simple yet beautiful. [spoiler] The statue in honor of the heroes, made me went aaaaw <3 [/spoiler] I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase, it was worth worth worth for me, and realizing only 2 people were involved in the making of this game was a big surprise, congrats to them and a big thank you!
Pros: Beautiful game, great animations. Cons: Stupid puzzles, terrible game flow. TL;DR: DON'T BUY THIS GAME. EVEN if it's on sale. Pay to NOT play this game.
I'm far from good at Point'n'click games but this has, so far=~1 hour in been fairly logical with some help from the dog... Music is of the sort you never really notice until you stop moving to end the game - but I just know I'd miss it if I turned it off so it's very suited to the game. Graphics look very nice too, I'll use some screenshots from it for my Win background (as I do like dark ones), my only complaint would be the time travel can take, but that is if I really search for something to complain about. (as it may very well be something needed to make room for future modding of the game) Future mods I do look forward to (and being able to find out what to do next to advance right now :P), so far I like it quite a lot, maybe not just as much as my fav. Point'n'click (Shardlight) but I am very biased as I'm a huge sucker for post apocalyptic things...
I really tried to like this title and gave it my best despite being a fan of point and clicks and space games, but it was just too frustrating. Very far fetched puzzles, close to impossible without a guide and due to constant need to back track and slow character motion it was just too much. Unfortunately, it's a pass for me.
A really inventive little puzzle game. The art is beautiful and the protagonists and their interactions are creative and I grew to like them a lot during the game. Although it has its flaws (like no log or diary to keep track of what puzzle/quest is on which planet) I would fully recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a short point and click adventure with interesting puzzles, lovable characters and a calm (yet fascinating) atmosphere. Plus: You can fly around in your own little space rocket!
Have you have ever heard of someone complain that some FPS games are tedious when they have the player traverse great distances to push button A in order to achieve result B? This game is that, except you do not get to have any real fun doing it, and the puzzles are more meaningless. "Use bird on cloud, bird is charged, put bird on TV to get juice from ghost" Yeah... There are no mechanics to make gameplay enjoyable, the characters move slowly, and since all one is doing is effectively randomly combining junk or using items in nonsensical ways, all of which is separated by great distance, it feeling meaningless.
The game started out being interesting but quickly grew tedious. The puzzles were not intuitive and the plot was not compelling. I liked the idea behind the game but I think it could have been executed better.
5.1 hours before finishing it BUT ... even if short, it's memorable. Ideal for beginners in pc gaming or even for the one like me that doesn’t have a powerful pc with huge graphic card and gaming hardware. It's a point with the mouse with 4 keys on the keyboard kind of game. Not the usual W A D as for moving around in a game. I would recommend it for kids 10 + Years old with some hints to give them in the walkthrough (free and link bellow) if they get bored not finding the next step. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=817202219 If you like the cartoon naive kind of sketchy drawings with vivid colors (see my profile for screenshots of the game) well you'll be playing in that universe for 5.1 hours. It's charming truly. It's not very challenging itself once you know what to do and in which order. You need no particular skills, just logic. The rest is pretty str8 forward. It’s mostly about tasks to be done and ways to make it happen. There's not much fight that ...
