I didn't bring over my save file from Maryland so I started over. It's a fun little game. It has nice sound effects. The artwork is simple, but the colors and music create a soothing atmosphere. It's a short little game. "I will enjoy it more when my friends leave kekekeke," says my friend of what I should say of the game. However, the truth is I went to sleep after they left, which was hours later, after we watched Moonrise Kingdom (2012). I beat The Beach and Harara Mountains. Screenshots go from 8:52PM PT* to 8:59PM PT.

I beat Skymning. Screenshots go from 4:04PM PT to 4:20PM PT*.

I'm in Maryland and while I think I have the save file from California, I went ahead and played Skymning over anyways. Screenshots go from 8:02PM ET to 8:04PM ET*.
I reiterate how much I love the simple artwork for this puzzle platformer. While there is color in the background, color in the sphere when using an action, and the occasional color in the foreground, the overall art style and dominantly black foreground reminds me of the art direction of the puzzle platformer Limbo (2011). Of course, complementing the artwork is the music. It's just so soothing!
Steam Game Time: 49 minutes = 0.8 hours (total game time) / 8 minutes = 0.1 hours (session game time)*
*There's actually some fun math that went into computing today's session game time. I had the following information: on 20130118, 0.1 hours session game time, 49 minutes total game time, and 0.8 hours total game time; on 20130124, 0.4 hours session game time, 62 minutes total game time, and 1.0 hours total game time. First I took the difference to determine 13 minutes session game time on 20130124. Next I played for an extra minute to confirm how Steam rounds the minutes (total game time of 63 minutes and 1.1 hours). Let X be my true game time on 20130118 in minutes. Then X/60 is rounded to .1 while (X+13)/60 is rounded to .4. The first implies X is between 3 and 8 minutes while the second implies X+13 is between 21 and 26, i.e., X is between 8 and 13. And there we have it, X must be 8.
