Engaging and addictive puzzle platformer with smooth and responsive controls.
Unique gameplay featuring two characters, the girl and her grandma, with diverse and evolving abilities.
Well-designed levels with gradual introduction of new mechanics and a charming, heartwarming story conveyed through comic-style panels.

Some boss and chase sequences are very difficult and unforgiving, leading to frustration due to limited checkpoints and having to restart entire levels.
Controls can be fiddly or unresponsive at times, especially on keyboard, and the inability to rebind keys impacts player comfort.
Certain gameplay elements like throwing grandma and slower mechanics feel tedious, and the visual style lacks shading detail, appearing somewhat bland.
