    Despite the focus on fun, the push and pull mechanics, linked to both gloves and throwing balls, are solid and power some decent puzzles. The game could have used a little more variety and, maybe, some more alternate exploration paths. Whalien – Unexpected Guests should also have had a cooperative mode, maybe with one small alien that could help Ernest.

    All in all, you might enjoy WHALIEN if you're looking for a game that will serve as a low-stress adventure and which probably won’t tax your head or your fingers. Even for that crowd, though, the price point is a little hard to swallow for the amount of content available, and it’ll be a short-term distraction at best.

    WHALIEN - Unexpected Guests is a fun, 3D puzzle platformer, full of crazy characters and vibrant visuals that will make you smile. The game is quite short, but the puzzles are enjoyable and never frustrating.
