Let me start with this - it's a mobile game.

That aside, it's still a great puzzler where you control Huey an Satura characters in different dream-like situations they're stuck in. There are quite many possible ways to solve the puzzles, but the main goal is still the same, to get them safely to finish or check-point whilst avoiding all the obstacles on their path. It requires quite well timed route planning and synchronisation between characters.

So gameplay is simple, but puzzles do get harder, adding more complexity and elements with each chapter. There are over 40 puzzle levels altoghether - and they actually are replayable, to try out different approaches or to finish the level by collecting also the optional crystal.
Artwork is beautiful - looks like Mountain Valley game; also music and sounds are well done.

Some things were a bit unhandy. When you start your planned route and you know it's going to go wrong - you still have to wait for one of the characters to die to restart the level. Restarting manually restarts the whole level and erasing the planned paths. Also editing movement paths was not so great.

So what can I say. I usually don't play mobile games, so can not say is it any better on iPhone or Android - the price probably is the same at the moment. Using keyboard and mouse was 100% easier for me, but also controllers are fully supported.

So if you do like beautifully designed little timewaster puzzle games, then Umiro is definitely for you.
