Pro: story; Con: everything else – To the Moon Review

Story is well written and nicely weaved. The way the character goes back to unveil the whole story is a nice touch. Yet your BG music feels too synthetic with too much piano tune (piano is one of the key clue in the game; too much piano just feels too plain). I know pixel style feels more “RPG”, but your graphics feel a lot worse compared to other RPGs I’ve played so far. Everything is stiff. The color makes it worse. Your migration to iOS is not successful either. With only 4 directions, the keypad is sometimes really hard to control with bare fingers. You give the notebook mechanism a looong transition time between its collapsed state and unfolded state. At the beginning tutorial… OK, but not after the players have understand everything. I believe $5 is too expensive for just a story walkthrough. This is at most a playable visual novel, but is not really a standard RPG.
