pid is a lovely 2D platforming puzzle adventure game with a gorgeous visual aesthetic, and a charming, somewhat extra-ordinary story about a boy who, on his bus ride home from school, gets lost and trapped on a distant planet where the interplanetary traffic has died down for centuries.

Unfortunately however, the controls are too floaty which makes for a frustrating platforming experience. The music is okay in itself and definitely sports a colorful variety, but it gets fairly annoying in die-a-lot sections. Same for some of the sound FX. Speaking of sounds: Kurt's footsteps sound way too heavy for a little boy, which threw me off the entire time. There are difficulty spikes all over the place, and especially the chase scenes are absolutely abysmal. If I were to guess, I'd say this game hasn't been playtested thoroughly.
