Press Quotes:

"The game's sound design is the strongest facilitator of Anodyne's sense of dread and unease" - Penny Arcade Report

"[Anodyne features] the substitution of a save-the-princess story for bizarre psychopomps and solipsistic explorations of the human condition." - Indie Statik

"The locations are vibrant and detailed, going to all manner of different places." - Mash Those Buttons

Wanted to see if this reviews of bad controls applied on a retroid 4 pro with hardware buttons. Yes they do, the game is portrait on landscape orientation with on screen buttons taking half the screen. The game accepts native direction/movement control but none of the buttons, so is unaplayable without the other. Constant screen shaking that is nauseating. Refunding.

Buy this Game. Seriously. But maybe on Xbox, PC or PS. I'm reading the phone controls suck but haven't tried for myself yet. Bought this on PC 5 years ago and it was amazing. I am repurchasing on Android and Xbox marketplace to support the making of Anodyne 2! It's 3D! Update:Just played 5 mins. Controls do suck. Manageable but takes away from the experience for sure if you're not patient.

Game story is unique. I like the graphics and the dream scapes. The controls on mobile are absolutely atrocious! It makes playing the game strenuous and unpleasant. Really wish I had listen to the other people who have pointed this out in many MANY other reviews
