    Unfortunately, the technical side of the game isn't up to the same level as the art style. But fans of classic platformers will find a decent game with pure puzzle gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game does not deserve the amount of neglect it receives. It's a charming puzzle platformer. It's slow paced and focuses more on puzzle solving than on platforming. The puzzles themselves are not bad, but not impressive either.

    There are a lot of good things to it. The overall presentation is really good. The art style is gorgeous, it looks like very fancy hand drawn illustrations, similar to Rayman. The music is also great, it fits the atmosphere very well. And there are a lot of clever ideas in the gameplay. One boss attacks with high attacks when the music plays high tunes, and with low attacks if there are low tunes. The main catch of the game, the cloud, is also fun. You can use it to kill innocent rabbits that look very disgusting when they're dead. You also use enemies' corpses as platforms or drag them on a button. The story is funny, it does not take itself seriously. Rather, you, the hero, keep screwing things up, right until the end.

    Unfortunately, the gameplay is not very polished. For some reason, they added fall damage to a platformer. You can just walk out of the first boss fight, and after you were defeated, you have to go through the whole dialogue with the boss again. The double jump with the leaf item requires you to press the jump button twice immediately if you want to jump high, you cannot wait to press the button the second time in midair. This is very unintuitive, most games with a double jump that I've played make you press the jump bottom the second time at the end of the first jump to get more height. The dialogue feels weird and stiff, maybe because it was translated from Spanish. There was a section where you have to pick up three items, but even if you find the third one first, you cannot pick it up because there's an order to it. If you play as many great platformers like me, the platforming sections feel disappointing.

    I can only agree with the professional critic review that this is a decent game with great presentation, but unpolished gameplay. I'd still say it's worth your time.    … Expand

    Cute game, but not enjoyable, rather irritating.It's also bugged for 144Hz monitors, can't jump an object so you get stucked in the game.
