Very calming, charming game. The soundtrack is very soft and wonderful. I could just let it play... Overall the game isn't too difficult, pretty straight-forward. There are 8 worlds to explore, and the final world is the most challenging all of a sudden. Cute character, interesting story, just a relaxing game with no thrills (you can't die in it)

This is a very beautifully drawn game. Gentle music. No big ugly monster bosses to kill. It may get really boring for some who want puzzles to solve and death defying battles. My only complaint is that the red robed little guy that is you is very tiny on the switch screen.

This is a beautiful, friendly, adventurous 2d game. The visuals with the music will keep you hooked. The game also comes with download link to the ost, so you can listen to the tracks on the go(phone, tablet, etc). The gameplay is fun and price is very reasonable. I highly recommend.

This game is so beautiful, both visually and aurally. I preordered and got to download the soundtrack - it's so soothing.
The game itself follows a gnome (I think?) who is going around learning about their past and about their role in restoring nature. Gameplay is really straightforward. There's one part that was a little annoying where the controls were flipped, but other than that, it's a nice game. Took me less than half a day to finish.

Seriously AWESOME game (& I’m not a gamer so it says a lot that I really enjoyed this)! Just when you think you’ve got the game down & you’re doing great, the game throws you a curve ball & gets more challenging but it’s beautiful & fun along the way! It’s enjoyable for all ages but does become increasingly difficult as it progresses so may not beatable for all but will still be fun to play!
(No violence & does require some brainwork for puzzles & mazes.)
