    • “It combines platforming with jigsaws, allowing you to rearrange the levels to cleverly reach the exit and optional goals, while constantly keeping the game fresh and exciting with newly introduced mechanics.”
    • “I love the variety in puzzle mechanics, what starts as the basic hook of rearrange-able tiles expands into a plethora of other simple gimmicks that each add their own twist, and then eventually combine for even greater complexity.”
    • “The puzzles are clever and the steady introduction of new mechanics means you're never doing the same thing for too long, and just when you think you've mastered it, an entirely new way of playing will bring you right back to square one.”
    • “I think it goes a little far in the final levels where they mash every single mechanic together, especially when the size of the puzzles means that it's very easy to get caught up on a red herring.”
    • “My only gripe is the snapping mechanic.”
    • “The game isn't too difficult and the tutorial puzzles can be pretty easy, but once the different mechanics start getting combined the puzzles get really good.”
