    It’s not often that you find a platformer with a lot of heart. Wonderful artwork, challenging and unique puzzle and level design, and a surprisingly moving story will keep you hooked and playing. If you need something short and sweet, give Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey a try.

    From the moment you lay your eyes on Mother Bilby, you’ll fall in love with this title. The beautiful animation, emotive story, and luscious backdrops echo great cartoons of the past. Proud Dinosaur has expertly crafted puzzles that mature in quality and difficulty as the game progresses. Although Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey is relatively short and a little sluggish at times, the game imbues quality, making this a journey worth taking.

    In the end, Macrotis: a Mother’s Journey is a hodgepodge of ideas that seem to miss the mark more often than they hit. It might please those looking for a minor commitment thanks to a short duration and pleasant looks, but the lack of interesting gameplay ideas and intriguing narrative mean there’s little here to interest puzzle-platformer connoisseurs.
