notes

the game itself was a roller coaster. each level an experiment in co-operative
gameplay. some levels were frustrating, some exhilarating, some were emotional
and most were in between.

the uncanny valley combined with a very drawn out story line and the not
surprising ending made the journey trying at times.

at least i could share the ups and downs with my partner.

in the end, i thoroughly enjoy being a plant, a wizard and so much more!
