I really enjoy this game. It is one of my favorite platformer games and I own over 2,400 games between my two accounts. Many platformer games that I own are just plain impossible for me to complete due to ridiculously hard difficulty. This game is very hard but it is not so hard that it is impossible to complete it. I think the difficulty is fair and I think there is a fair amount of checkpoints in each level. Talking about checkpoints, the checkpoints in this game are unique. The first time you walk over the checkpoint it will save the exact status of your game. So you can use some strategy as to when you want to walk over the checkpoint (which always appears as a sleeping bag on the ground). You can position your characters wherever you want, and then walk over the checkpoint at the exact point you want to save. Very neat feature. Since the difficulty is hard enough in this game that you will die a lot, the ability to control when the checkpoint saves will save you a lot of time.

You control 3 characters in this game, but I presume you already know that from reading the store page or other reviews. The game is really fun because at later levels you will need to walk all 3 characters in different directions in the level to find the buttons to move levers and doors. And you have to cross extremely dangerous obstacles in the process. The difficulty is hard enough that you will feel challenged in each level starting at around level 5. The first 4 levels are easier, and are meant as more of a tutorial. There is a small bug with accessing level 5. To access level 5, do NOT click on the start button. Instead hit the enter key twice. This will load the level. If you click on the start button, it will lock up. Hitting the enter key twice should also work if you use a controller, or you could try hitting the A button on the controller twice.

I tried the game with both a controller and the keyboard, and I found the game easier to play on a keyboard because you could more precisely control your characters movement with a keyboard then with a controller. You need that precise control to get over the deadly obstacles in your path. I normally always play platformer games with a controller, so this is one of the only platformer games that I recommend playing with a keyboard.

As I said earlier, this game is extremely fun. But I wouldn't classify it so much as a puzzle platformer, as more of an "obstacle" platformer. You spend most of your time trying to locate the right direction to go, and get over the obstacles blocking your path. The difficulty is very hard but fair, and it gives you a very good challenge. Also you are on a time system, where if you run out of water then your party dies of thirst. Since you are being timed (based on how much water you have left), then you will feel pressured when playing the game to rush and move fast so you don't run out of water before you are able to refill the party's canteen. I usually play a level or two of this game, when I'm in the mood for something challenging in my day. I will be very sad when I complete the game, and finished all the levels. But maybe in a few years from now, once I forget the levels, I will go back and play the game again :) I enjoy the game so much, that I can see myself playing it again in the future. Also I wanted to note, that I make sure I find the rune in each level I play. I'm not sure if it unlocks a bonus at the end of the game or not, but I wanted to make sure that I fully complete each level before moving on, and getting the rune is part of each level.

Would I recommend buying this game at full price? Most definitely yes. The full price is very low. The game doesn't cost very much and you will get probably 8 to 10 hours of fun out of it especially if you search for the rune on each level.
