The game features beautiful graphics and a charming storyline, making it visually appealing and enjoyable.
It offers a relaxing gameplay experience, especially when played in 'relaxed' mode without a time limit, while still providing challenges for those who prefer timed play.
The ability to save progress mid-level is a great quality of life improvement, allowing players to take breaks without losing their progress.

Levels are excessively long, often taking 30 minutes to over an hour to complete, which can lead to a tedious experience.
The gameplay can become repetitive due to the limited variety of tiles and mechanics, making it feel like a grind over time.
Some players have experienced bugs that prevent them from progressing, such as not being able to complete levels despite meeting the requirements.
