I honestly can't believe I finished a whole playthrough in one sitting. I picked it up and just couldn't stop. I literally bought this game cause I saw a youtuber picked it up and I wanted to try it before watching his lets play. I didn't anticipate that the narrative would have such a profound impact on me. I've been reflecting on a lot lately, my life in general, all that has happened to me in the past few years. I feel like I've experienced more than I can handle in such a short amount of time, and I see my own experiences reflected in both the hero, the princess, and the narrator so clearly. All that fear, grief, feeling and just a desire for a sense of wholeness, or acceptance of myself and my experiences, or something of that nature. It's so difficult to put into words just how big of an impact this game had on me and everything that it means to me. Somehow I decided to play it at just the right time in my life. I think at some point I'll come back to this again and replay, but for now I have to take a break haha. This was amazing. I highly recommend it. I'm genuinely blown away.

Heavy introspection today. Cried. Would play again.

Cutest game ever! Simple but rewarding game play loop, I had a lot of fun completing all the achievements. The art style is super charming and easy to look at, and the animations are so silly in the most adorable way. I only wish there was more content for me to play through! I hope these two end up putting out more projects together, they made a great little game!

I genuinely really love this game! It's simple, relaxing, and scratches that itch for something like an aesthetically pleasing clean-up game that I've been wanting. The loddles are SO cute, I adore them. I really do wish there was more content beyond just the main story, because you can complete it in a couple hours. I've replayed it a couple times already, and still enjoy it all the same, but I'd love to see some updates or DLC. It'd be cool to have more attention paid to the loddles themselves, because raising them is enjoyable for the most part but it just feels like that part of the gameplay is a bit lacking to me.

This is my first time ever reviewing a game but I really just felt like I had to with this one.

I really really enjoy this, it just scratches that itch in the back of my brain to play simple puzzle games for hours on end, that being said-- it's a good time waster. If you're looking for a game with nuanced or complex mechanics, this isn't it. Honestly, I think this would fare even better on the mobile app store considering that seems to be the primary niche they're trying to fill, and I'd be surprised if it isn't available on mobile already. Sometimes I don't have the energy for overly complicated, competitive games, and just want something to relax with and waste an hour on to take a break from work, classes, or life in general. Some of the levels took me ridiculously long to finally get 3 stars on, but that was part of the enjoyment for me.

With all this in mind, I don't think this game is for everyone. I'm someone who really enjoys the repetition and simplicity, there's a rhythm to it I love and I get a little boost of serotonin for every level I complete to 3 stars. But, this game-play loop is definitely not for everyone, I have a friend I'm fairly sure would rip his hair out if I made him play this haha.
