A lovely trip down memory lane. Not sure what to say of the story. I just feel like it's impactful. A nice slice of art.

i had a feeling this game had more of a story than helping a little girl find her dad but I didn't think it would deal with the death of a loved one

I asked you once if the sun loved the other stars. You looked at me a shook your head. “He doesn’t have time for such things,” you said. Nodding turned back to the horizon. The sun hung low in the blushing sky. It’s still a star and all stars die. I shuddered at the thought random as it was. Darkness came and crickets chirped. There was the familiar scuff of boots on dirt. I turned to find that you had gone. The moon and fog are better company. Though just as silent I know what they expect of me. Winter is a long and lonely season. Spring comes as a sweet surprise. Autumn is summers swift demise. Though I do not understand the point. You barley fit twenty-four hours in a day. Why set my heart to a seasonal delay? Home was soon an after thought. I counted the stars like missed chances. And listened intensely for sacred wind dances. I paused momentarily to curse the sun. Too stubborn to pause and love someone.

How have I not come across this game before now?! I love puzzle platformers, and this was great. A totally new approach (to me). There was one level where I had to call up photoshop and rotate the pieces to see the path, but for the majority, it was a very cleverly created game. Off to find the first one now! 5/5

How can I find out the full story without having to do all of the levels...Otherwise, I rate this heart-touching-game a 5 out of 5! I like the idea of a relationship between a mother and son, and a father and daughter. I as well have a family bond that will never be broken.

These controls are about 2.68 times more touchy and likely to stick than the last game, which makes it a bit harder, but great game anyway!

If you are struggling with certain levels, I have a quick walkthrough video that might help you: http://goo.gl/bkKsiF . Maybe it will help some of you. There's also downloadable pictures if the video wasn't clear enough.

It was nice to play such a novel concept again, but there was literally nothing new that was already done in the first Fractured other than the genders being reversed. It would've been nice to see a couple of new things added to the mix. 4/5
The only real change was a larger screen size for more variety to the puzzles. I'm definitely cooking something new up for the finale, don't worry. Thanks for playing both games!

I loved the first Fractured back when it as still new, and now that I've discovered this one, I loved it as well, as much for the ambiance and theme as for the gameplay. The platforming is improved from my memory of the first game, and the presentation is flawless. Compliments in particular to the artist for making me fall instantly in love with the little girl.
I do love a bit of ambiguity in my stories. The implication to me is that she feels abandoned by her father (suggested by both the sound of boots and the fact that he disappears every time she catches him, leaving her to fall to her fate.) Particularly with the final line, the poem likens her father (or whomever she's addressing) to his depiction of the sun -- too busy to pause and love someone.
I appreciate the thorough review. We worked hard on getting the style of the games just right, especially the main characters. One of the key details is your inability to see their eyes, both the girl and boy share this trait, and it creates a real disconnect from them emotionally to keep you a little off-balance. I'm glad you picked up on all of these things. Thanks for playing!

I think The child from Fractured number one and this little girl are brother ans sister and they both are searching for there parents in seperate ways.

really totally AWESOME game!!!! no not really I just wanted to sound like all the other drones that go for these sort of games.

I bet youll reply to this. you always do. go on I dare you not to reply to this comment. your game seriously needs blood and zombies and screaming oh and some death metal to make up for that candy assed so called poem that attempts to pass as something more than artsy fartsyness. you should put a super atomic special attack for the little girl like she can release flaming death skulls from her naughty bits that cause that prick of a father's ghost being to become encapsulated in fire making him scream for a change. then her death by falling off the puzzle would be more fulfilling and you could reward me ninety bazillion points for doing something so fking cool that it makes your head like totally explode.

ok so I was driving the lorry through the zombie horde when suddenly THUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a crate got stuck under the wheels and I couldn't get the stupid thing to go forward OR BACK!!! A CRATE FOR PETE SAKES!!! I got a 50000 ton lorry and youre gonna tell me a stupid crate will stop its progress??? anyway It was about that time the zombie overlord made his appearance and killed me so it didn't really mater none. you should fix this bug.

You should make a level editor level, so you can make and play your own levels. Also they should be publishable for others to play! Anyways thanks for the great game grozzler!
There's many steps that go into making levels from the tile placement, to breaking up the scene and then finally rearranging those pieces. A level editor that's crafted well enough for the general public would be a considerable time investment. I will consider it and gauge interest based on how many upvotes this comment gets. Thanks for playing.

Seems like an AWESOME game, but it's lagging quite a lot. The actual game is fine, but then when I try to press the arrow keys it's taking ages to respond to it...quite annoying, as I really wanna play it properly.

The ending made me cry~! This was beautiful and I found myself getting really into the puzzles. I'm glad you placed all the words at the end together, as by focusing to hard on the puzzles, i had either forgotten them or they seemed disjointed. It truly was a great game and it had me thinking outside of the box.

It would be a great game if it weren't for the clunky controls. I'll just barely tap a key, and isntead of doing a U-turn the girl goes flying off a cliff. I'd love to finish the game, but the frustration of the girl not going where my fingers tell her to go outweighs my desire to finish.
Sounds like you're experiencing something not intended. Can you post your browser and flash version so I can help sort it out? I apologize for the frustration you're feeling.

I honestly loved the ending, and I believe that is was based on losing someone you love, without even realizing they were going to be gone, so you acted normally, unaware of what was to come.
