Strange game, wasn't too difficult. The giant goat scared me a little. I'm not sure if Anika has the greatest morals, tricking those owl creatures into looking into a hole and then shoveling it into the hole and rolling a rock towards a giant ram.

When I saw wings, I just remembered about Icarus and how he died in sea... But this girl better in creaturing than Daedalus

This game taught me that no matter how much you procrastinate, at the end of the day you still have to go get the bucket of water

Favorite things to do in the game include: Touching the fence, scratching the giant's back, pushing the goat, kissing the rock-giant-thing, and completing the game. :3

You know, it certainly says something, when simple flash game from 2007 ten years later still shows better grasp on storytelling and game design than 99% of big-name franchises of thouse ten years.
I miss Gobliiins and Tove Jansson.

This was a very cute game. :) I loved the detail and the execution. I would love to see Anika in another tale somewhere down the road!

Technician advice, kick the machine, if that doesn't work, kick it again, if that doesn't work kick it again, if that doesn't work kick it till it works. 5/5

Whimsy defined. Easy, but great art. I love the little things like the girl hugging her bunny if you click on it. I also like that she looks around as your cursor moves. The goat balancing on the giant rock (that was too big for the hole!) was funny.

I had to look up Taniwha after seeing the word it in "Anika's Odyssey: Land of the Taniwha" which is the game's full title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taniwha. So, I guess that purple lake creature is the Taniwha? Given it only plays a brief role in the game I don't know why the game was named after it. /shrug Also, be sure to scratch the giant man's back and give a kiss to the mountain after it scares the eagle away. :)

Outstanding. If only we lived in such a beautiful world. Also, don't forget to give the Mountain Man a smooch before you go back home.
