Testimonial: “I want to thank you guys for helping remake Zoombinis logical journey on Steam. It is incredibly hard to find remakes of my favorite computer games, however I've already logged 50+ hours and I'm very close to finishing the game for the first time in my life. Just wanted to give a thank you for seeing the Kickstarter through, this game gives me immense joy and you guys did a kickass job from the art to keeping the nostalgia of the game. You guys rock!!” —Paige
