This game is 100% free. It features optional donations (which do not help the player in any way). It's an Indie game without any financial backing.

This is a retro style, old school pixel art, point and click adventure game. It aims to combine the feeling of classic point and click adventure games in a retro style pixel art cartoon environment with a unique and clear story. It has simple and easy to use controls designed for mobile devices.

It is an old school adventure game with puzzles that hopefully are both logical and challenging. The pixel art, "low resolution", graphics might remind people of classic old school point and click adventure games from the early 90's.

The clean and simple old school retro cartoon style is a bit unique for point and click adventure games, hopefully it will induce both nostalgia and provide new experiences.
