    Graphics are decent and semi unique.
    The physics are awful and the controls are unreliable. Half of the jumps you have to make are the extreme limit of a normal jump but using the high jump which only ever seems to want to actually work half the time leaves you without vision of the ground since the camera follows the player the whole time.

The first thing that I thought of while playing this were the unfair mario maps because there are no indications for most of the traps and even if you can notice it before it hits you the hit boxes are awful and you can "die" before the trap even hits you. If the controls were more responsive and the game didn't rely on unavoidable traps until you know where they are ahead of time this could have been a much better game. I wouldn't buy it at full price as is but I got it on sale which is the only reason i'm not upset with it. Not worth $10.    … Expand

    Pros: I liked the static black/white environment and contrast of the character's red coat. Cons: No story; unresponsive controls; checkpoints were poorly placed.

    The only Fobia about this game is how bad it is. Physics are broken. I would get stuck in weird positions or the screen would roll after reloads. Loading after death is ridiculously long. Some puzzles were just unfair. Beat the broken game in about an hour. I bought it on sale for $6.99 should have waited for $.99.

    I've created an account in metacritic just to write this.
    The game is bad, it wants to be a limbo/inside clone, but fail completely in it. The death traps are unavoidable the first time, so you have to die on everyone of them and then remember were they are.

    The physics is buggy and feels laggy, so I miss my jumps half the times. Even when I know what I should do, I die all the time.

    For example I died when the ground crumbled under my feet, So I thought, "ok, holes in solid ground means crumble", but the next thing I know, some ground that should crumble, but no.

    I wish Nintendo would allow reimbursement, because I'm not playing this game again.    … Expand

    3.5 score is overvalued!

    A lot of developers never publish their first game because they know that is not enough, why this game exists?, is NOT challenging, is boring for any sensate person. The game play takes no more than 10 minutes to complete, the art style is basic and the game feels is empty.

    0% would recommend this game to someone!

    Amazing game! The graphics are very nice and the game can be chilling. It’s difficult and fun while being very simple. This is an amazing game despite the other reviews. Be careful though some of the levels are hard and I spent a while trying to accomplish some. I hope you have as much fun as I did with this game!

    Ignore the 3.8 Score
    This game is great it's not the best game in the world by a all way BUT you need to know that the game was made by two people who have never made a game before, yes its a short game but it was challenging enough for me to want to play the game.
    If you want a game to play that won't take you years to complete I would recommend this game the art style I wonderful and    Ignore the 3.8 Score

    Pretty but broken, had glitches since the first obstacle, the menus are lazy as well

    The game is quite short and its physics are really horrible and non sense. The character gets stuck and certain "levels" only depend on how the game works. Trying to overcome an obstacle by its difficulty it's nice, trying to overcome an obstacle once and again because the controls don't work correctly is awful.
    Moreover, once the game is finished it doesn't restart itself again, instead    The game is quite short and its physics are really horrible and non sense.

    En mi experiencia personal con el juego (lo cual fue algo nefasto) debo indicar temas básicos:
    1-Sistema de jugabilidas: lo básico, saltar y caminar, aunque se siente algo muy genérico
    2- Dificultad del juego: es un port cutre de Limbo, es lamentable que Nintendo opte por aceptar cualquier tipo de juegos Basura indie a la tienda, y peor aún que no hay reembolso 3- Historia: La verdad es    En mi experiencia personal con el juego (lo cual fue algo nefasto) debo indicar temas básicos:

    3- Historia: La verdad es que si nos metemos a fondo, no hay significado, ni nada en lo básico
    4- Música: debo admitir que la única razón por la cual no le pongo 1 de metacritic es por su soundtrack de intro del juego, ya dentro del juego habrá cortes repentinos de música y sonidos baratos de ello
    5- Tiempo de juego: por lo menos a mi me tomo entre 1 hora y 40 minutos
    Para finalizar, debo añadir que no tengo ni la mayor seguridad que este tipo de juego es un ejemplo para no ser desarrolladores, ni comprarlo de pasada. ¡Un fiasco!    … Expand

    I'm so glad I got this on sale because if I had spent €10 on it for an hour's worth of buggy gameplay with bad game mechanics and high risk/low reward playing I'd have given the money to a stranger and asked them to slap me. There's no substance to this, the description of being about a little girl overcoming fears is just an artsy attempt to give meaning to an otherwise pointless game.

It looks alright, and that fools you. If you've played Inside then you might keep playing thinking it'll be like that. It's not. Also I joined metacritic just to write this.

    Nice graphics, but unreliable controls. The game ends up being a stressful try and error to find the hidden traps, all while praying for the controls to work.

    Not great.
    The graphics are aesthetically pleasing, but the controls are so glitchy and unresponsive that it makes the game unplayable.
