I love how this game looks but i have no concepts of where i've been or where i'm going.
Im getting to random levels and unlocking the names after doing the various challenges. i'm trying to find all the eyes on the various levels. What's the other number that is always displayed under the amount of eyes you have found?
How many levels are there? How do i know when i'm done?
I love it but i wish the structure was a little more... structured.

When you unlock new screens it will open a portal back to that screen from the home area. If there is no snake circling the home portal then you should go back to that area.
On the pause screen the two numbers that pop up are how many eyes you have on that screen (e.g. 5/8) and how many total eyes you have in all levels (e.g. 52/146). There are 146 total eyes but you don't need them all to finish the game or for any trophies (
they just unlock a final, optional snake-guy
There are 16 friends to unlock
including the optional eye-guy
Very useful map made by another GAFer here, Doomburrito7. I believe it doesn't have the transitional screens between main screens but should help a lot (spoilers of course).

I'm enjoying this game so much. The animations, graphics and music are incredible. And I love how it plays, the little abstract puzzles that tell such great little stories.. it's wonderful.
It looks great on PS4, but feels at home and looks something special on Vita's OLED.
It sucks I heard it being described as a screen-saver on some podcasts.. John and Garnett podcast! <shakes fist>

Yep that was it, thanks! I dunno how I had never noticed an exit portal on the wedding stage before.
I finished the game but still have no idea what this means. Any clues?

Hint:
Go to the main popnut forest area, where the three portals are. It's the main center portal from the black home screen. Look for a guy with paint... Let me know if you want more explicit clues.

Does anyone know if there is a way to zoom out?
I'd love a wider view occasionally

Use the right stick to adjust the zoom level. You can also turn off the "Auto Zoom" feature in the pause screen settings. Personally I preferred it off and just managed the zoom myself. It's not like there is too much going on you have to control, haha.
Awesome, glad to hear it. The one-hour trophy is the last thing on my list as well...

Just finished the game, but haven't collected all of the eyes. There's one level in particular
that I almost feel like I don't have a chance at finding them all.
Also, a weird thing happened when I was trying to get my last friend. In the level
I had not idea what was going on, and after a really long time, the music completely cut out. I tried going to another area, but the next area never loaded. It just stayed on a black screen for a few minutes until I quit out of the game completely. When I reloaded it, I was back in the same level, only
. No idea what happened there, or why something didn't trigger.
the lost woods?
Also, a weird thing happened when I was trying to get my last friend. In the level
where the guy makes the pottery and you break it,
the guy had made a giant vase, and of course I found my friend after that.
Just finished the game. I still need to collect some eyes though.
This is the biggest surprise of the year so far for me. Ever since watching the first media, i went on a media blackout because i thought it looked interesting. So going in, i had no idea what the game was about. And i loved it from start to finish. There is only one area that i didn't enjoy much and that was the
. That felt really random as to what you had to do to progress. But other than that, it was a pure delight and amongst my favourite psn games ever.
The visuals were fresh, colorful and fun. The music and sound effects were great and i loved all the little animations and scenes. The exploration part was genuinely fun and surprising. It had the right length and never got boring. There were some fantastic ideas in there. It's obvious that this is a labour of love from everyone who worked on it. A true wonderful little game that made me smile.

That level was awesome. I love figuring those things out
I actually prefer to play it on my TV cause that's where the artwork really shines. Vita screen is too small for all the detail

Glad to hear you can finally play it! I wonder why the methods I did to fix the error (delete from download list in Notifications then re-download from store) didn't work for you.
I had a similar experience with the
pottery level. After breaking the pots, i had no clue how to progress so i left the level. When i came back, the giant vase had appeared. So i'm not sure what sequence of events is needed to finish that scene. Maybe it has a bug.

There is more to do.
Clue? I spent ages just going up and down collecting fruit and changing the colours...

Actually, what you did is probably what you're supposed to do. Much like in RPGs where you give someone an item, and they tell you to come back later to pick something up... only this game doesn't tell you to come back later.

Think of it as a puzzle game. Each "level" has a goal that you need to solve. Some are more obvious than others. If you need specific help, feel free to ask, but the point is to figure it out.
BUT...
Here's a short guide to every level.
Try planting and harvesting some fruit using the wooden frames near the top and bottom.

You can do that?! well damn. My main time losses were
Farm waiting for blue, forgetting how to get one of the stupid dragon parts for the roller coaster, one of the puzzles not triggering right in the gridpaper section, messing up the bees and kite levels a bit.

This happened to me as well, except playing it on my ps3. Can't understand why, but I guess more trophies is always welcome, right...?

Did this transition screen remind anyone of Patapon?

Desert was super weird, it keeps on going forever if you go to the right and keeps on having NPCs. Reminded me of the library in Neverhood.
That pottery level was weird, when I came back there was a giant pot and the level was called Lutterworth. Feel good about inadvertently figuring it out.
The arabic nights level was a cool puzzle, bats vs fire.
Three-eyed elephants at beaches are always cool.

I don't think so, it's just a cute little place for giving ice cream to desert travelers
. I could be wrong.There's a trophy for you if you get all the characters to visit the ice cream vendor.
You only have to get one character to visit the ice cream vendor.

This game is a drug.
Or its what you play while waiting for the drugs to kick in.
And then you keep playing because you can't and won't stop because the trance state of wide-eyed wonder and beat-bouncing whimsy is so damn good.
Its one of those games that tries hard and succeeds at giving me a big ole grin every time I toy with it for a spell.

I did one task which was to collect loads of different colours with a character that scoops them up. He put them into a machine and it unlocked four people below it. I got a little cutscene with his name displayed, then it went back to that area again. It looks like I can put the colours back into the machine again, so.. Did I do that wrong, or can you just complete it again if you like?
Also, in the very starting area do you have to collect all the snakes?

Ohhhhhh I had no idea how I got that trophy, I guess that's a valid reason for a secret portal then.

It sure is!
I think I've cracked the majority of this game, having finished it once and familiarising myself with each "puzzle". Gonna try a playthrough in less than an hour in a bit.

This game charms the pants off me. Even more so than the recent Rayman games. Smiles all around.
