“11 levels played so far but, mechanics are solid, premise is adorable!”
“Each mechanic felt realized to its full potential.”
“Very nice pixel art, simple mechanics easy to learn, well elaborated level progression, clearly hand-crafted puzzles.”
“I thought this was some kind of relaxing puzzle game, but I didn't know I would have to battle with awful mechanics that often don't make any sense. The tools' behavior is erratic, and level 18 is the perfect example of what is so bad about this game.”
“I just wish the developers ironed out some of the annoying control mechanics.”
“I also noticed the mechanics are a little strange at times, where sometimes the crates won't stay in place, and so you have to use a different one to get your crate in the desired location.”

“Well done on a technical level and I love the aesthetic.”
“Graphics aren't much, but the puzzles are just challenging enough that you can play this for a few minutes here and there without getting overly frustrated.”

“Well done on a technical level, but the graphics leave much to be desired.”
