Most of Edmund's games go for grossness, and deal with rotting meat or genitals of some sort, but this game is an interesting contrast to the rest of them, it has a totally different tone and inspires feelings of beauty rather than disgust. Basically your player swings on clouds, leaves the atmosphere, and explores other worlds. The mechanics of the swinging and flying are decent and easy, but not realistic, which was a bit off-putting to me at first. Each planet has something to "solve" -- this varies by planet and isn't very intuitive. You may need a walkthrough; I did. The solutions are simple to perform, but not obvious. If you use a walkthrough, it's a short game that can be finished in around 10 minutes. The ending is as good as the rest of the game, but I don't want to spoil it; it leaves a feeling of uncertainty and make you wonder whether it's better to get lost into fantasy or be down to earth. 2009-02-24T23:15:22+00:00 0 515 372 67.83.42.33 5
