0:49 It takes me a looong time to collect the pollen I need to grow a plant off this floating rock. Without the silk, it's a very slow process.

0:51 So I've activated a nearby seed, but I miss the jump to it FOUR TIMES, climbing back from ground zero each time. Who thought making the jump controls so unforgiving would be fun?

0:55 The jump button is the same as the "spin through the plant platform you're trying to land on" button, so when I try to jump immediately after landing, I instead spin through and fall down to the ground yet again. AIEEEEE!

0:56 It seems I've forgotten where the first Spectra is, but I'm having a decent time just exploring looking for it. Too bad about that time limit...

0:58 Finally found it, right where I left it, among a rocky outcropping I had explored the other side of. I'm left wanting more...

Would I play this game for more than an hour? Yes.

Why? Despite some major control issues, it's a simple, beautiful, incredibly unique and relaxing platformer. Sign me up!

This column was based on a preview download of the game provided by the publisher.

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
