I love it. It's so cute and comfortable in so many ways. Visually the character design and general visual theme is great and different while the music and sound really adds a fairy-like atmosphere. The puzzles get suprisingly intricate and difficult after the first section of the game, and some of them really had me in a bind. Very satisfying to figure out, and I enjoy how it was presented! The only real complaint I have is that I had to crank the brightness for some parts in the cave levels, but other than that I had a great time and heavily recommend it. :) Cute cows 10/10

Hyss mixes nordic folk-tale figures and music together to bring us a superb plattformer and well thought out logic puzzle on a solve as you go basis. Hyss transported me back in time to the stories I was told as a child about the trolls, gnomes and faries. The art style combined with the ambiance and very responsive controls makes this game a joy to play and It is truly a amazing experience and I do recommend to almost everyone who enjoys platformers and story driven/cinematic games. Why not play this together with your child? Also, bonus points for being able to invert the y-axis on the mouse! (Sunscale got the oldschoolers covered yo ;) )

For me Hyss is a game with a lovely thematic, charming visuals and beautiful music. As a player I get introduced to the game's mechanics in a good pace, and a little later once I have become familiar with how the game plays (punching a cow, etc! <3) I find myself in a good spot between finding the puzzle elements in the game tricky and challenging yet interesting. The puzzles got more elaborated as I progressed in the game, and I loved that some parts where really complex yet without feeling daunting to solve nor unfairly designed. Bravo! Playing two characters (both with a unique set of skills), and being able to switch between them, felt like a fresh and fun way of solving puzzles since it added another dimension of how the various puzzle elements should be solved. Overall I would recommend this game, especially at this price point, if you want to test your puzzle-solving skills while enjoying a warm and cozy theme in your game. I played it alone and enjoyed it immensly, but I c...

11/10 would punt cows again I haven't gotten very far in this game yet (the puzzles really are challenging) but I'm already liking this a lot! The game sounds amazing, the graphics look really great (especially for an indie title) and the puzzles are giving me just the right amount of challenge. The first few puzzles are quite easy but about 10 minutes in you really have to start thinking about things to get them right, and it feels great when you do because at each and every step of solving the puzzle you get rewarded with some kind of feedback from the game. Grusa, Vilde and the cows are all very charming and I'm definitely gonna keep playing to see where this goes. Definitely worth a buy!

The games puzzles gets progressively harder and have to use alot of creativity to beat some of the puzzles! I am very curious how my nephew will enjoy this game!
