Reviews
- The game features beautiful wooden tabletop style art and pleasant sound effects, creating an enjoyable atmosphere.
- It offers a nice balance of simple gameplay for beginners while providing challenging perfectionist goals for more experienced players.
- The game is well-designed with a smooth interface, fun unlockables, and a charming story that appeals to a wide range of ages.
- There are no difficulty level choices, leading to an imbalance where some levels are too easy while others are excessively difficult.
- The menu items lack labels, making the user interface feel incomplete and requiring players to guess the functions of generic symbols.
- The sound effects, particularly the 'sign' bonking, can become annoying, especially during replaying levels for better scores.
