The graphics are great with a nice nighttime atmosphere, the controls are fluid and respond well, frame rate is smooth and fluid (using a Windows 10 Acer) and the puzzles are quite a bit challenging and may leave you wracking your brain for some time.

first off lemmi get the good things outa da way. i thought the art was cute. the puzzles were a good level of difficulty, the music was mostly good, the price was phenomenal, and the satasfaction of completing a puzzle was good. i can tell effort and heart was put into developing this so i hope this is taken as constructive criticism.

In all, this game has both a lot currently going for it and a lot of potential, and with fun level designs, good puzzling aspects, great visuals, good sound design, and clearly a lot of love poured into it, I think that with a little more polish, this game could be easily make Bad Seahorse decent money.
