« It's not all that satisfying to play. The physics don't work the way you would expect and everything feels a bit too stiff. I also just really don't care for the humor for what I've played so far. »

« A real gem, every new surprise kept me hooked and I feel very endeared to the characters in such a short but memorable time. My only complaint is in a lot of levels the camera feels just a littleee too close to see where you are going. »
