Though I really tried to like this game, the unnecessary repetition and ultimately a crash ruined it for me. I have no qualms with the graphics, they are simple and to the point. The plot was slow, and pretty predictable, but still well done. That being said, the Japanese characters seemed sorely out of place and the English was full of multiple spelling/grammatical errors in and of itself. What really lowered my rating was the fact that the entire game consisted of doing the same thing over and over. Be it traveling the same path to the giant, or a slightly varied path to retrieve flashing white pixels, or berries. Nonetheless, I still wanted to see how the game ended, which didn't even happen. Once I finally got the giant to village, which took about five times as long as was necessary, the game glitched. I could no longer move, at all, and the white "villager" dots began rapidly vibrating in place while flashing. I thought that this might have been another poorly executed plot device, but I pressed every single button on my keyboard, and nothing happened. Eventually the music stopped and the giant started flickering as well. The game was dead. Needless to say, I will absolutely not be playing through it again. Generally speaking I am a fan of story-driven "artistic" style Flash games. In fact, many of them are counted among my all time favorites. But this was just a begrudgingly slow mess that didn't really pull me in and ultimately crashed on me.
