    This is a fantastic game with stunningly organic visuals and excellent music. It's a little on the short side but for 2.99 it's a steal. The animation alone is worth the price of admission, on par with the classic Disney movies.

    Awesome, awesome game. Great with friends!

    It looks great on my new iPad, though it is not retina graphics.

    You have to
    quickly swipe back and forth, miming the action for a Heimlich maneuver.

    POSSIBLE SPOILERS

    I'm stuck after the chase when he's on the hospital bed with the nurse. Any pointers?

    You have to glance at her and quickly turn away when she looks. Do this twice and then slowly hand her the flower.

    I must be doing something wrong. I glance quickly at her twice and away then get to the flower part. I'm trying to hand it to her slowly but it's not working. Any tips?

    Try staring at her for a few seconds, where he's spinning the flower between his fingers

    Still not working. After starting for a few seconds, I slide a little more to the right and then leave it? Or keep sliding all the way to the right?

    Ugh fug this POS, frustrating gameplay mechanics. Don't buy this if you want to lose your sanity over the repeated reloading when you keep failing.
    Wasted 10 mins on it before deleting, really wish I never heard of this game.

    Your $2.99 is better spent on other real adventure games from Telltale, not this interactive comic. I won't even call this a game.

    This was worth every penny. I have the boxed DVD set of DL I and II with Space Ace that can be played on DVD player with the Remote. Works perfectly. So I knew what I was getting with The Act. And it didn't disappoint. This is more subtle than the frantic timing of DL et al. Body language and the music play a major role in this game. Appreciate this quality for what it is. You have the opportunity to take part in a delightful peace of young love. Enjoy it. I see here it is from a Laserdisc game in the mid 2000s. Were there any others like this? If so may we see them converted to IOS? I especially enjoyed the opening dream sequence.

    Bought it on sale. While it looks great, I find it quite boring. Also, it would be nice to be able to pause anytime in the game and go back to earlier scenes. Since it is said to be short, I will try and finish it and free up the space.
