WHY I WANT IT

As I've said before--many times--I am not very good at platformer games. Despite that fact, there are always some I am drawn to. This one, in particular, comes with the benefit of there being no danger or death involved. It is a risk-free adventure through an artistic world full of some very creative visuals and a gorgeous soundtrack that reminds me of Child of Light (more on that title later) or a more cinematic experience like Fantasia, without the obligatory mouse cameo.

This is definitely a gaming experience for casual gamers, or even just the gamer who wants something to relax to. Since its initial release, it is now also available on iOS and PS4, making it accessible to everyone who isn't a die hard Linux enthusiast or Android-user-without-a-computer.

If the trailer doesn't convince you this game deserves to be on my wishlist, then nothing I can add will persuade you.

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
