Admittedly, there isn't much going on in this game yet but, what it does have is done really well. Everything just works. It feels solid and polished for only being in Alpha 1.0 (at the time of this review). The only bug I noticed was that my goldfish guide wandered off in the middle of the third stage and didn't come back until I got back to the moon chamber. This is a chill puzzle game with beautiful art and music. If you just want to kick back and relax with something casual, easy on the eyes, and not too taxing on the brain, you'll like this.. If you are looking for a beautiful small easy puzzle game with an soothing soundtrack you should buy it!But I have some critism:It looks gorgeous at first. Then you play and relalize that the dark blue starlake and the same rocks over and over get really boring fast. I wish there was a bit more variety, but this is also a 11\u20ac game, so this is forgivable.The puzzles are really easy. They introduce new mechanics in the form of animals, but it doesn't seem to make the puzzles more complex. I was never stuck on a puzzle and the longest took me maybe 1 minute and a half, probably less.You only use the keyboard to navigate the lake. I feel like you could eliminate the keyboard with just using the mouse to drag the boat. Also I hope the developers will put their own cursor design in the game. The windows one looks really out of place and ugly.. Mouse is needed only to solve "puzzles", keyboard's needed for everything else and you can't rebind keys....they also only give "extra keys" (such as E=enter i.e. ac\u00b4knowledge) for the WASD setup so that even if they give you the option to steer via the cursor keys all the other keys are way off in that scenario. (it doesn't seem like a game where you need instant access to the keys but still...)I don't do WASD and, having an awful week this did look like exactly what I needed and right at the start it also kicks me in the head by not allowing me to rebind keys.... Beautiful and simple puzzle game. Difficulty pacing is very well done, with new mechanics being intorduced with a lot of thought and care. Art and Audio are amazing, a real please to sit and play. Really looking forward too additional content in the future, and best of luck to the developers!. Mesmerizing from artwork to audio to puzzles. I literally just got this and I am going to enjoy playing this tonight. I already thought "this is easy" and was proved wrong lol. Don't be to self confident! Challanging even in the first 5\/6 puzzles till you get the gist. Buy it and enjoy it, I did and I will! :). Fantastic little game which draws you in more and more as you play!And before you know it a couple of hours has passed by!. Great puzzle game. Addictive puzzles and a beautiful game to be invested in! Looking forward to seeing it progress from here!. Fun game, relaxing atmosphere, frustratingly addictive puzzles. Can't wait to see what's next for the game and the developers.. Very nice puzzle game. Love the music as well
