How it feels

You solve puzzles by rotating and shifting block-based worlds to reach objectives, with a calm yet occasionally challenging feel.

What players say

Players praise the dimension-switching time mechanic as a clever gimmick, but many find the controls awkward on keyboard and the camera angle frustrating, leading to frequent deaths. Opinions split on difficulty: some call it a breezy puzzle platformer while others describe it as a rage-inducing obstacle course.
