    It’s hard to fault Whirlight: No Time to Trip for being what it sets out to be. Don’t let the tone fool you. Whirlight: No Time to Trip is a hardcore homage to point-and-click puzzle adventure games. Delightful visuals, a quirky story, fun characters, and an appealing sense of irony and humor help ease the pain of some frustrating, unintuitive puzzles. Skippable puzzles or at least an optional hint system would go a long way. Figety, impatient, or puzzle-adverse gamers might be put off and miss the charm Whirlight: No Time to Trip has to offer.

    Whirlight: No Time to Trip is point-and-click that oozes passion and charm in its world, characters, narrative and gameplay. Its main issue is that it falls for the biggest and most common trapping of its genre: the ingenuity of its interactions come at the cost of some solutions being less intuitive than would be ideal. The result is a game that can be just as frustrating as it is whimsical.
