Vastly disappointing.
The games biggest premise was that you somehow get the ability to control water. Cool, that sounds interesting. Buy it, download it, play it. Silly puzzle challenges, a frustrating as hell climbing system, enemies better prepared for combat than you could possibly every be, and no water control abilities. Oh yeah, there's this dream at the star where you're a little girl who's drowning or something, and then throughout the entire game:
However, there is no explanation for this shit at all. I'm really, really glad I didn't pay more than a few bucks for this "game" because, really, it's not a game. It's a portion of a game. Remember the water powers? Yeah, you get those about 95% of the way through the game, and quite honestly, they are frustrating as hell to use -- possibly due to it being a console port.
The entire point of the game you've been fighting through is to save the ship from the "bad lady", but the end happens right after you kill the bad lady (super lame how that fucking happens, btw) and then you just pass out. No idea if you've saved the ship. No idea if you've stopped the terrorist plot, no idea what happened to your "best bud, Scrotum Scoot", and no explaination for the creepy laughing kid nor the magical water powers you've now got.
I've seen reviews that called in a cliff hanger -- NO. It was NOT a cliff hanger, it is half (or less) of a full story.
It was a mildly interesting game, the water was pretty, but overall unless you have time to burn, nothing better to do, and it doesn't cost you more than 5$, I'd say go for it; Otherwise, steer clear.
