After its beautiful natural landscapes drawn by hand we find a good adventure of puzzles and platforms starring a fox capable of changing at will the seasons of the year , thus achieving that magical world that surrounds him alter his appearance. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics.
A pond prevents you from passing? Let the cold winter freeze its surface and problem solved! Or welcome the autumn, watch the mushrooms grow, and they alone will guide you to otherwise inaccessible areas. What do we do with the summer?
Allow your warm light to make some plants bloom; or that spring and its torrential rains completely flood the stage to access higher place
s. In a fluid, very natural way, in Seasons After Fall you will change the climate constantly looking to solve some puzzles that are not especially complex, but ingenious and imaginative.

Protector of nature
Discover how the strength of the autumn wind lifts the branches of the trees or how, with some water, life can sprout from the earth are just some of those special moments in which this work of Swing Swing Submarine demonstrates its quality. Does it hit? That even taking advantage of this special skill rarely deepens in it. Sometimes the answer to puzzles is as simple as changing seasons and that’s it; There is not much to think or great challenges to overcome. That same simplicity is transferred to the plataformeo sections .
You will jump from here to there from beginning to end, but more as a resource to explore the scenario than as a challenge proper. It’s a shame. There is a lot of untapped potential in this adventure. You have incredible power in your hands … and in a few occasions you can demonstrate it with actions that match the circumstances.

and the simplicity of many of its puzzles. Even more so when we are faced with an adventure as beautiful as this one. Needless to say, the images speak for themselves.
The Swing Swing Submarine video game has also surprised us with the quality of its soundtrack . It does not have as much prominence as we would have liked but when it sounds … the music is felt. Also with great success. The string quartet that has bee
