Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 28 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I've never play puzzle game before but this is my first puzzle game I enjoyed so far, Love the soundtrack and art, and also hilarious turtle sound
絵が可愛らしく、ストーリーも気になったのでプレイしてみました。 操作は単純ながら、手ごたえのあるパズルでした。 中盤から出てくるワープの挙動がなかなか理解できず、慣性など利用しなければならない場面はかなり手こずりました。 また、Chapter4に限っては他と比べアクション難易度が格段に上がっており、パズルがメインだと思って挑むとここで詰む可能性があります。 しかし終始一貫して可愛らしく、誰もが体験するような心の動きを描いた良い作品だったと思います。
A must play 2d indie game! Especially hand drawn art makes the world feels alive, I love the puzzle so far very unique and never seen before. I also love the subtle narrative and ambient sound. The little narrative moments + chill ambient sounds just hits different.. Perfect cozy video game if you want to play game while relaxing. Controller is a must (imo), feels way more intuitive than keyboard. Only cons I have so far is the UI placement during in game, after Lily spawns into new level then the camera slowly moves to other side you can see the tutorial text (like press X to jump, etc) it kind of spoiling

Simple yet fun experience,
Good game! The puzzle is fun, breathtaking art, music is nice, and easy to play. But the gameplay sometimes got too clunky especially in chapter 4, other than that it's still pretty enjoyable for me!
very cute (and sad), i love flippy
I love this charming puzzle platformer with beautiful cut scenes. The playable character Lily is so precious and the story is really interesting! The puzzles are genuinely pretty challenging, and they definitely increase in difficulty.
It's hard to tell a tragic and loss story from the perspective of a child, yet this game could bring such emotion in a simple way as how child see their world. But, too bad the gameplay and platforming aspect was weak, and the only good thing is the puzzles
A puzzle game with a thought provoking story, sprinkled with lots of cinematic moments and cutscenes. There are moments in the game where you would just stop what you're doing and admire the scene in front of you. The music is incredible, and the art is very pretty. If you like games like Journey or Abzu, I would recommend checking this game out. The puzzle department is not slacking either, there are some moments where you genuinly have to stop and think for a while on how to complete it. The usage of the mechanics introduced to form more complex puzzles is very creative and out of the box. You'll need to use whatever you've learned from previous encounters well in order to clear the next puzzles. It's a genuinely fun exercise for the noggins Overall, a very well polished game that I would recommend.
