It really fits the &quot;minimalism&quot; theme. It all flows together and is quite pretty. The music is soft and has a good tempo, fitting the slower pace of the game. The gameplay is so-so. The collision gets very glitchy at times and you will get stuck in walls a lot. The movement\/controls aren't very tight and there is a lot more delay than necessary. I do like in the gameplay how you learn what is happening through game events. For example, when you first start and walk over the green paint, you change color. It's a good indicator. Then, when you find out how to the right is a dead end, the only other way is left, telling you, &quot;Hey, this is non-linear!&quot; It works well. The jumping can also be very annoying due to the poor collision, unfortunately. All in all it's fairly well done in 48 hours."},{"author_name":"Crazi456","author_uid":"20961","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 7:23am","epoch":1367219880,"text":"Fits theme well.

I really wish it affected your powers or how you interacted with the environment or enemies somehow.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, I got stuck in the walls a few times. Still, this was a charming game.
