The way we enter the mind and see beneath the surface, amazing use of the theme.

I loved the graphical style and the music was pretty catchy too. A very good and well presented take on the theme. The animations were pretty cool but did probably take a little too long as I found my third and fourth play through a tad tedious.

I have loved ferns, but never have I thought I'd find a soul mate.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also why does Mt.Dew man dream of Pepsi? Is he a liar?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Seriously though, fun cute game.
