“The storyline is gripping and the actual concept and visual design of the levels is just stunning!”
“At its heart, Karma is a love story with a classic damsel in distress, and a brave worm named Pip that should find his way to reincarnate as a dragon and rescue his love.”
“Overall I really enjoyed the game and can’t wait for the story to continue.”
“First of all, this game does not 'explore a love story' - sorry, it just doesn't.”
“However, it doesn't seem to have much of a story, as gameplay seems to consist of trying to figure out what the monsters are telling you (with imagery) to click.”
“As I said before, the story itself won't be that noteworthy if it's not because of the setting, art, concept, and how they convey it.”
