I'm only half way into the second story but am feeling exactly the same way thus far. It's kind of throwing two meh things together to make a meh sandwich. Love this dev though, and would never regret supporting him for a few bucks.
Now that I’m past the first story, I really like the bits where the puzzles reflect aspects of the story (drugged gravity, grandpa taking down the plant, etc.) I realize the puzzles were probably designed first then the story was adapted—hence slightly random stories—but it’s pretty seamless so far.
Ok, so to follow up on my thoughts above, I've now finished the game and did enjoy it. Glad I purchased and fully played it. I'll even admit that the ending I chose really got to me! It was really well done. What I'd love is to now be able to play and see each optional ending but that doesn't appear to be possible...?
The only thing i remember about this one is I had to get the red blot twice. Once before the white blot and once after. Pity we cant replay levels (I could help you more.
I since completed it, but thanks. Also finished the game itself, I thought the ending was really nicely done, that and the pixel graphic really elevated the whole thing.
