pretty short, but a free and overall enjoyable hour.
the visuals and sound are by far the best part of the game. the gameplay and 'story' didn't really do much for me, but i appreciate its unique qualities. the controls seem like they worked perfectly fine for most of the game, but once i got near the end, i began to have some problems (that im assuming are most likely rare).
the game explicitly told me that it was better with a controller, and i like using a controller for games when i can already, so i had no issues there. however, every popup tutorial for a new ability seemed to think i was using a controller (which i wasn't) and i use this x-input controller for everything with no problems. in the final area when the game bugged out and left me in the flight state for a bizarrely long time going straight upwards. i thought it was just a particularly lengthy cutscene segment, but nope! the visuals eventually began to get buggy so i started fucking with the controller and accidentally moved the control stick. apparently you can change direction mid air with the stick but not with the d-pad, which is just kinda annoying. i can understand wanting 360 degree movement for a mechanic, but not telling me and not even letting me do 8-directional movement with the d-pad with one specific mechanic is a little annoying. overall, the game is visually polished, but not very mechanically polished.
to be perfectly clear, this is a very minor issue, and i'm assuming i experienced a rare bug with the infinite flight. regardless of this experience, i would still consider this to be a 3/5 game. it's pretty, moderately fun, only an hour, and free.

A beautifully crafted platformer with a stellar soundtrack and surprisingly emotional short story that will have you loving this little guy by the end of his journey!
Also, this game is free on Steam. The fact that it's free is mindblowing to me. A lot of hard work was clearly put in here and to experience this at no cost almost felt wrong… If you have a computer, there is no reason to not check this out!

Cuesta creer que este juego sea gratuito. Tiene el nivel de detalle suficiente para pedir tan siquiera unos poquitos euros por el pero no, totally free. Sencillito, facilito de aprender y con un apartado artístico y sonoro muy bonito.
Un jueguito ideal para hacértelo en una horita para despejar la mente y ya si quieres, te pones en modo complecionista con los logros. Algún día lo intentaré pero hasta entonces, si te van los plataformas, dale por que no tiene desperdicio.
