That being said, you can see the quality of the work. The graphics were a bit bland, but they were cohesive and had a bit of shine to them. The music was awesome, and that working together with the mechanics made for a great feel. It was an interesting take on choosing between progress and commitment. On the one hand, if you leave the child behind you get much further, but there's nothing out there, so there's not really a point.
