Reviews
- The art style and visuals are charming, with seasonal changes and relaxing music that enhance the gameplay experience.
- The game offers a large number of levels (195), providing a decent amount of content for casual play.
- It's a simple and satisfying puzzle game that can be completed quickly, making it a good time killer.
- The first 150 levels are overly easy and repetitive, lacking real challenge until after the 100th level.
- Achievements are spammy, with many awarded for completing the very easy initial levels, leading to a lack of meaningful progression.
- The controls and hotkeys are unintuitive, which can lead to confusion during gameplay.
