It looks good, but I am wondering about substance & quality, especially after reading the reviews.
I'm not a fan of Pixel Art as such, but now and then I see some that is pretty impressive, and the artwork in this game looks very good, at least in the screenshots.
The small file size though (61 Mb), is worrying. There is obviously music and an amount of good artwork (screenshots at least). Video seems okay. However the English language aspect appears poorly done, so it clearly needs a better localisation file. Reputedly the puzzles are good. Game duration and satisfaction I don't know.
Paying more than $5 AUD for the game, when I feel it should be a couple dollars less than that, is a real stretch and turnoff, based on what we seem to be getting overall and the unknowns.
I'd take my chances for $3 or maybe even $4. But to pay more, means less money spent elsewhere, where I would likely get better value and less risk.
If this game came with an artbook as well, at the current price, then I would probably just take a chance on at least getting some good artwork, in case playing the game annoys me or worse. Not that I'd look at the artwork much, once I had seen it all.
I believe in paying a fair price, and even supporting developers, but I don't like to be ripped off.
All about value for money for me.
P.S. Of course, seeing all the nice artwork in game, is all about being able to progress, or even wanting to.
I've done my bit, feedback over. :)
P.S.S. It would have been part of the Make Your Own Bundle I did, but I could not justify paying the price. If only it had been a dollar or two cheaper. I felt the urge to buy the game, but my brain said no. Oh well, such a shame.
