« It's great and very well made. But it's short, much too short to be honest. You can finish it in 30 minutes even when you really take the time to see every detail. It's too short to really leave a mark. »

« 5 Dollars for a 30 minute Flash game. The only way to progress the game is to spam jump into every corner until you find a secret. Bad gameplay, Good world building however. This should be on Armor Games lowkey. »
