While very pleasant, and generally feeling pretty distinct with its mix of exploration and puzzle-solving, the somewhat loose controls and some quirks keep it from being better

Normally I don’t like platformer puzzles, but I loved this one. I normally struggle with the platforming part, but this time the developers have made even the dreaded double jump quite doable, even for people not fond of platformers. The lack of timers and enemies, the calm visuals and soundtrack, and the very cute tiny birds make The Merlies one of the very best games to add to your backlog this Fall
