With your usual unique art style, and excellent audio design the whole thing tells a story with the mood it sets.\r\rThe music was wonderful, emphasizing the overall calm of it. The sparse sound effects meshed together so well with the music that it was difficult to tell where one ended and the other began. The violence of the sound when one of the moths died was like a splash in an otherwise still lake; combined with watching its little body flail to the ground was enough consequence to make you try as hard as you could to avoid doing it again.\r\rA really unique and simple idea executed perfectly, an overall lovely experience."},{"author_name":"Elemental Zeal Games Studios","author_uid":"12839","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1450210560,"text":"This was really nice and well done.

Damn.\r\rThis game has some beautiful graphics, beautiful audio and sets the tone perfectly. But more than this, it's the subtleties in this game that make it. First off, the silkworm collection blends so seamlessly with the music I didn't even realise it wasn't part of it the first few times. Very cool use of dynamic music.\r\rSecond, whether intentional or not, the spear traps in this game actually produce a misdirection that makes for one of the most minimally designed puzzles I've seen. Despite the fact that the spears rise up and down, usually you can simply fly around them. When you reach the worms completely surrounded by spears, the simple answer of simply waiting until they were down didn't click for a minute for me because there was 'no way in' and I was still thinking about them like I had all the others, as simple obstacles to avoid.\r\rThird, the use of negative space is fantastic, and flying over blackness to arrive at more map produces a feel of sequence breaking despite the fact that the game map is entirely open. \r\rKudos."},{"author_name":"martincohen","author_uid":"55211","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 2:55pm","epoch":1450709400,"text":"Dreyan, wow.
