Throwback Thursday Recommendation

We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!

Recommended by Frank Cifaldi from The Video Game History Foundation This is a lovely little lazy afternoon game, a low-stress puzzle platformer with relaxing music. And did I mention the gorgeous 2D animation, by the masters at Wayforward? It's so chill that there's even a dedicated hug button for hugging your little blob friend. Does the hug button actually do anything to affect the gameplay? I don't think so, but I think that's the point.
