A Lozenge has some really realistic dialogue between a mother and child. I do wish we had more backstory about what led to the present course of events. As is we’re just dropped in the middle with little context and the ending isn’t much of an ending. The middle is great though and what content is there is enjoyable. The art style is great as well and I like the use of colour. The music was well done and a nice peaceful melody.
I played A Lozenge on Linux using Wine. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs or spelling errors. There is an option for resolution and refresh rate. Alt-tab didn’t work. There was no save option but it is a short game.

I enjoyed the dialogue and characters but more context; backstory and more of an ending would have been nice. I finished my first play through in 12 minutes. I paid $2.60 CAD for it and felt that was a good value for what i got.
