The concept of Balik Bayan and Lipad Ligaya is pretty similar! Although I think Balik Bayan is a lot more polished, so I really enjoyed playing it.
The only part I got stuck on was the last round. I genuinely couldn’t figure out how to make everything fit. I racked my brain trying to complete both Mikey and Joanne’s requests, but I just couldn’t make it work.
The art and the BGM go really well together, and I love the sound effects when picking up and placing the objects. It makes the whole game feel a lot more satisfying. I also really liked the option to toggle the grid that shows how much space each object occupies—it made packing a lot easier.
5 stars from me. I could definitely see this becoming a cozy game with a bigger story and even more cute object designs.
