While the mechanics may not be groundbreaking, they are cleverly combined to create satisfying challenges, particularly in the late-game. Players appreciate the optional nature of many levels and find the puzzle-solving experience comparable to that of other popular titles in the genre.

“A very fun, competent, party-based puzzle sokoban title flowing with creative mechanics.”
“While none of the mechanics are exactly groundbreaking, they are combined in clever ways to form some very satisfying puzzles.”
