How it feels

A methodical, straightforward puzzle game where you carefully place colored orbs while managing the slowly tightening pressure of an ever-filling board.

What players say

Players call it a faithful revival of a classic puzzle game, with simple yet addictive logic that demands strategic thought. Many praise the nostalgic Windows XP-styled design and appreciate the customizable field size and difficulty, though some note it lacks a borderless window mode.
