3/5. While the platforming aspect is simplistic and cumbersome, the puzzles make up for it in their difficulty - And the philosophy attacks are a nice touch. All in all, if the actual game were made easier to play, I'd give this a 5/5.

If you stand idle until your character looks at the screen, then tap left and right in time, you will do a funky dance. Also, your hairstyle will flip.

After answering the question of the 1st Spirit world, the game blocks at the encounter with the guardian. I never get to battle him, and the “skip to the battle” button doesn’t work either. In fact nothing works (main menu, help…).
I’ve reloaded both on kong and the developpers’ site but everytime I get there the same thing happens.
Keep this comment alive if you had the same problem and hopefully we'll get an answer from the devs.

movement is broken for me on firefox.
If I keep the arrow key down, the character only moves one step.
This makes controls a nightmare. 1/5

hey usually the loading of a nice game like this one in the first it takes about 20 secondes and if there is a character creation after you create you player it takes max.10 secs

my only complaints are that moving around is too slow, and a big laggy, especially when jumping. why not smooth it out and make the platforming a bit more painless? that coupled with dying and repeating segments with laggy-feeling controls/gameplay makes failure suck more than it should

This game is fascinating. As a game it's a pretty standard platformer, but when you add up the whole philosophical perspective, it turns into a very interesting and thought-provoking experience without being pretentious as most "art" games out there.

By far the most thought provoking yet fun game I have ever played. Easily a favorite. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece!

I'm always happy to see new games by Channel Four/Preloaded but this was below their usual very high standard. Stiff controls, poor graphics (by Preloaded standards) and very long loading times. It's like they replaced their whole staff :(

Below Threshold: There is just no excuse for ps1 level load times in between every map and level select section, especially for what appears to be a simple platformer at heart. The music is also very poor, it is like listening to darth vader. The whole philosophy aspect is an interesting, but I am afraid that it will come down to being a yes/no sort of deal. Like in console video games where you can choose your own path of being really evil or really good, nothing in between. The math fighting section is interesting by itself, but I just don't see its place in a platform game.

Hmmm. It is a very good game, it has potential, etc etc.... The only problem is that the difficulty curve is very high.. It takes me around 6 minutes a level after level 2 of body.. And I got stuck on level 4 for around 30 minutes.. Maybe if the difficulty was lowered a bit, it would be a better game.. For now, 4/5! Amazing game, I just dislike playing the same game for an hour, and only beating 6 levels

The whole game I was William Wordsworth, but at the end (I mean the end ot the game... you know) I got Amelia Earhart. Well... I'm going to play this in 5 years again. Do we change our minds during our adventure of life? I'll see...
Neat graphics
Deep thoughts
Nice features (at the website of this game)
A good mix of Jump'n'Run, a 'card game' and the possibility to think about yourself.
5/5

Kinda interesting game.... but very time consuming, and the fact that it doesnt save on kon makes it a bit annoying... but over all 4/5

2/5
The controls are laggy and the game skips frames randomly. The personality quiz questions seem to have no actual connection to the game, and are too vague. The tile battles are far too easy.
Overall, the game seems to be a random combination of poorly executed concepts.
