Player feedback on Blueberry demo:
"I am missing words to tell how awesome this game is. This hits right into my emotions and reminds me of people I love who had similar experiences in their lives. This game shows these experiences in a playful but nonetheless deep kind of way. Can't wait to play the full version.

I do not know if it's good to show this game to my people who struggle with the topics shown in the game or if it would be too hard for them to be confronted this way. Maybe you have a suggestion how to handle this."

This was one of the first games I ever played with my sisters and I don't think we ever finished it. Instead, we played the beginning again and again and again πŸ’•

Two galaxies side by side. The galaxy at the top left appears smaller in size and is a bright glowing spiral with clearly defined arms. A larger blue galaxy dominates the full right two-thirds. This galaxy is more irregularly shaped, with a glowing central bar, and varying regions of concentrated hues of blue. The background of space is black with various stars and galaxies in the distance.

The galaxy on the left in this Hubble image is actually larger! The dimmer galaxy in Arp 4 is 65 million light-years from Earth, while the bright one lies 675 million light-years away! It’s determined that the further galaxy is much larger. Credit: NASA/ESA.

Also, great game recommendations on this list πŸ‘€
