“The block mechanics are really clever, the visuals are vibrant, the music surprised me a lot, and I laughed a few times while playing.”
“For starters, the togge connecting mechanic is... inconsistent.”
“Overall, I had my gripes, but I think the game eventually started to grow on me thanks to some of the patches fixing some of the game's problems (originally could only carry one power-up, for example). There is a lot of love and passion put into it with its beautiful cartoonish visuals and creative traversal gameplay.”
“A unique gameplay that uses togges (the little charismatic cubes) as a means of exploration (each colored togge has different capabilities) and to solve puzzles in a well-crafted world that has the perfect size.”

The cartoonish visuals and clever mechanics contribute to an engaging aesthetic experience, complemented by a delightful soundtrack that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game.
“The presentation is top-notch, with a number of expansive and colorful worlds that all have their unique flavor and never feel derivative of typical platformer clichés: a pastry city in the middle of a desert, a level based on scaling a giant oriental-themed tree, a medieval town on a crescent moon... the sound and visuals are very nice, and it's always satisfying to absorb one of the fruits you're tasked with collecting.”
