    The music in the game is generally praised for being cute, fun, and relaxing, enhancing the overall experience.

Despite these bugs, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, making it enjoyable for players.

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as simple and traditional, reminiscent of sokoban mechanics, but it lacks depth and complexity, particularly with the late introduction of key mechanics like the box-to-switch-button. Reviewers feel that the game could have benefited from more levels and a gradual increase in challenge, as the existing puzzles do not significantly ramp up in difficulty.

    • “The game also feels like it was originally going to be more than 25 levels since the box-to-switch-button mechanic is introduced so late in the game.”
    • “I feel like the crate/switch and portal mechanics missed out on the opportunity for more complexity; they did not really ramp up too much in challenge along with every other puzzle part.”
    • “A simple game with traditional sokoban gameplay.”
  • graphics
