Hello, sir!

I enjoyed this game for what it's worth, that being everything. There is no facet of this game I didn't take at least small pleasure in, but saying that, there weren't many facets to begin with.

Let's start with the thing that impressed me the most; the story. At the beginning of the game, I was assuming that this was going to be a short little smudge to make me think, but the end product was something that has left me at what the game has for an end screen astonished. A wonderfully thought provoking story, inter-cut with some exploration in a dying plant. Speaking of...

The graphics. This is another thing that I thought would be a downer in this game, but ended up making me impressed. The simplicity of the graphics draw attention to the story in a compelling and likable manner. Some improvement should be done, but PLEASE do not overdo it. The characters and their animations were elegantly designed, but could have some work done. For instance, if you're falling down a ways and rub up against the wall, it looks like you're having a seizure. Also, there could be a little turning animation on the father, it's a little choppy. Speaking of...

The music. An amazing choice, as with the graphics. It is elegant while keeping attention drawn to the story. The thing that makes it choppy is the space where it loops. (Maybe add a space for some fade to ease it up?) Although this isn't technically music, but it's still sound, could you add some voice acting to the dialogue? If there was, I couldn't hear it. Other than that, the sound kept me in a pleasant mood, even in difficulty. Speaking of...

The game-play. A game about learning to survive on your own shouldn't hold your hand, and it doesn't, but I found myself in some spots without a clue what to do. The biggest of these being a room I affectionately refer to as "The Fuck You Loop." The progression in the game is amazing, and goes parallel to the story. Upon getting the gloves and acquiring the strength of your father, I remembered some spots that I couldn't get to and sure as shit I was supposed to go there. After getting the boots (Another spot that gave me trouble) and being able to catch your own fall, I felt a little more free. (This feeling the text confirmed I should be having((Although I spent the time afterwards impersonating superman)) In grabbing the ax, I solemnly understood what must be done. I dropped down and cut the sapling, bringing me to the end of the game. Speaking of...

The end. The story tied itself off perfectly with the girl standing alone. Although disappointing, the ending is what fit best. (This is the only spot where I found a glitch, wherein if you press "Z" at the end screen, it will redo the end text on the white screen)

A marvelous game, sir! Many said a map would increase the value of the game, but I think it would detract a little, due to the nature of it. Medals as well would be a thing to avoid in my opinion. Also, is there a pause button? Because I haven't found one. I would appreciate if you sent me notice when you update, as I'd like to see what changes you present. Have a glorious day!

Thanks for the review! I don't like I'll be adding voice acting. Audio takes up a huge amount of data, and I'm not planning on making people wait through horrible load times. If you're interested in a version with voice acting, check out the short film this game is based on:

I'll keep in mind your other advice when I have a chance to work on the updates.

Nothing interesting.
