This game is a true vision, firstly because the developers left the option of additional narration open, and secondly because the game is polished enough to be an amusing gem-collecting-time-killer. It's when you combine the seemingly pointless gem collecting, odd object placement and endless exploration with little text to explain what is happening, you enter a world that delivers much more than a Mario-clone platformer, or major game remake for your handheld. I applaud the developers and will patiently wait for any updates or sequelss." -MeMyselfOrWho"HOLY MOTHER OF GEEZUS!!! cryptic -_-" -Zithorio"Another great Indie game that oozes a lot of character that some of the bigger games lack.

It's neat and weird and kind of creepy, oh and really sad if you're a cat person. drelbs Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2009 11,200 7 38 #8 drelbs, Aug 15, 2012 Starts out as a digging game, turns into an interesting story. Wonderful experience. GeekyDad Well-Known Member Jan 14, 2012 1,173 0 0 Games Journalist #9 GeekyDad, Aug 15, 2012 Last edited: Aug 15, 2012 Indeed. Just checked it out. Plays a bit like Junk Jack, but very weird. I kinda discovered by accident that you can turn your phone (device) to make him change perspective, which is pretty cool. Not sure how the game progresses, but I am discovering things. The fact he's a skeleton digging in the "dirt" is a pretty obvious hint about where things are probably headed. Edit: What a cool little game. Definitely sad and a scene I can personally identify with. frisbee10461 Well-Known Member Feb 16, 2012 360 0 0 #10 frisbee10461, Aug 17, 2012 Last edited: Aug 17, 2012 How? Wow. What a game. That is all I have to say. OsideRida06 Well-Known Member Jan 3, 2010 103 0 0 #11 OsideRida06, Aug 17, 2012 Really? I will have to check this out. Will my 5 year old like it too? frisbee10461 Well-Known Member Feb 16, 2012 360 0 0 #12 frisbee10461, Aug 17, 2012 I think so. I think, without giving anything away, that if you dig, dig, and dig, and do what the directions say, you will be fine. Also, there are TWO levels. So, keep digging.
