Overall, it provides an "easy to pick up, hard to master" experience that is enjoyable, especially for casual play.

    • “Quick, simple gameplay with lots of charm. This is not a grand adventure of epic proportions; the gameplay is quite simple, yet there's a lot of attention to detail, fun unlocks, and an actual endpoint in a kind of game that usually doesn't have any.”
    • “Simple gameplay and mechanics with differing abilities between each character to choose from. The character design is great, the art is super adorable, and the beautiful, relaxing music complements the addictive gameplay.”
    • “All these elements result in a nice 'easy to pick up, hard to master' feeling gameplay.”
    • “As mentioned by other reviews, the gameplay is largely a score-attack set across a few different stages.”
    • “I found this game by some artwork on the internet, this game in general is great, only bad thing is that the gameplay is short, really good game though, hope there's a sequel for it.”

    • “This is a beautiful game with a fantastic soundtrack and an adorable cast.”

    • “The music, coupled with the visuals of the changing night sky, really insinuates that the player is trying their best to fly home, as the urgency and the coming in-game day shows certain cues, such as the shadow of the owl both leaving and arriving nearby, that really drive the player into continuing the level to completion.”

  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is fairly minimal and not particularly impactful, consisting of brief text snippets that provide some backstory but lack depth. Players can complete the entire narrative in about 3-4 hours, and while a more developed story mode would be appreciated, the overall experience remains enjoyable given the low price and quality of the game.

    • “There's a little backstory that serves as exposition for why you are being attacked and why bats hunt at night, adding some depth to the experience.”
    • “I still think a story mode would be nice, but for the low price and current amount of content, it's still very much worth a try.”
    • “Despite its short length, the story has a certain charm that makes the experience enjoyable.”
    • “Fairly short - did all the story, then 100% the achievements in 3-4 hours.”
    • “There's a little backstory of sorts that serves as exposition as to why you are being attacked, and even why bats hunt at night, but it's not particularly consequential to the game.”
    • “- no story progression (can't expect for a longer gameplay for this cheap and high quality)”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
