    Unfortunately the only thing that keeps this game from being an utter bore is the charming narrarator. You'll spend the first couple levels hurrying through feeling interested in the story but really its just a craving for entertainment. The "puzzles" (levels) can be mastered by my dog and many of them are tedious and extremely repetitive.

The very old school vibe won't be toQuirky indie title that strips the platforming genre down to its bare bones.

    Thomas Was Alone was a top title when it originally released, and it remains so today.
