It looks gorgeous but is a PITA to use. Maybe kids are more intelligent than me, but I couldn't work out what to click on level 3. At which point I gave up.
I love all the games by these people... I adore the elves-and-gnomes, secret-world visual play and pure whimsy - though as a person who appreciates the marriage of logic and lateral thinking in this style of game, the whimsy does get frustrating when all play is suspended until you hit upon some entirely random action that can't be reasoned out. The cat's tail thing strays into that territory, though I did see that with all predator-prey stuff going on there, I would have to initiate some action that would set a series of responses in motion, and I did think the cat was a good place to start. Still, it took me a while to hit on the tail. I kept getting the chirping bird to come out, and thinking "stupid cat, why don't you pounce?!!!!".
Anyway, beautiful rendering and puzzly fun = my most favoritest gameses.
