Lucidity

The Good
The game has a strong atmosphere and ambiance; the cutscenes are well done. Good graphic design. Music/Sounds are well done. The basic idea of placing elements like in some puzzle games is promising.

The Bad
I was quite disappointed, since i expected more than a slightly innovative jump and run with really clumsy and jerky controls. Often I failed to place the helping objects where I wanted them since there is a rather crude grid for positioning. Possibly more annoying, half the time this has no negative consequences. Then again, if the controls were smooth the game would be even easier.

The game stays far from implementing anything like lucidity. The level design is pretty basic jump and run elements and not well woven into the dream-frame-story.

The dreamy, sad and relaxed feeling of the game/frame scenes is contrasted by a hectic anxious feeling while playing.

The Bottom Line
A platformer that won't let you control "Mario" directly but only the platforms that determine his (her) path.
