Pros
Pro Impressive style and quality
The artistic design of the game is quite dream-like, with hand-drawn characters and levels. Its sound design is equally impressive.
Pro Whimsical artistic style
This game is ethereal and relaxing, while at the same time engaging the player in challenging puzzles. The main character is comical, yet beautiful at the same time. It's almost like The Wisp and Lemmings had a child.
Pro Great atmosphere
Dream-like art direction with hand-drawn characters and levels, and excellent sound design.
Pro Varied, Lemmings-style puzzles
The game has interesting and often challenging puzzles, especially if you wish to complete the level perfectly, made possible with varied abilities of spirits that get introduced throughout the game.
Pro No in-app-purchases
Entire game is available for one up front purchase.
Pro Playable in portrait or landscape mode
Transitions smoothly between the two. It's helpful for navigating or backtracking across a level to orient the screen depending on your direction of travel.
Pro 16-bit graphics
Much nostalgia - but this also lowers the bar for required specs, meaning your old Galaxy S or whatever can run it.
Cons
Con Broken on Android Marshmallow devices
Unfortunately, Spirits doesn't work with Android devices with Android 6.0 Marshmallow installed (or higher). The game simply freezes or crashes instantly while loading.
Con Slow-moving gameplay
Spirits is intended to be a slow, relaxing game, though some may not enjoy the extent of the title's slowness.
Con Shop is difficult to navigate
When using the shop to purchase items, the windows overlap each other, which forces constant tapping back in forth from the players inventory to the shops. For characters that are highly dependent on the shop, this can become irritating fast.
