What players say
Players praise it as a relaxing jigsaw puzzle that pairs each finished puzzle with a short animated story drawn from Zen koans. Opinions split on the controls: most find piece movement fine, but a few call them awkward or phone-like. One reviewer warns the reset button was dangerously easy to fat-finger, though the developer later added a confirmation screen.
