First screen of the tutorial—swipe anywhere and release... Uh-huh. That’s the beginning and the end of this game because no matter what you do you will never leave that screen. Broken software.

It's very clear this game was designed around a touch screen, rather than fight the medium this game embraces it. Combined with the beautiful art and elegant story it makes the game a real masterpiece.

The art and music are beautiful and the gameplay is solid. Top notch
