How it feels

A gentle but increasingly tricky puzzle game where you slowly build a cluster of cute hoglets and carefully navigate them home through hedge mazes.

What players say

Players praise this short sokoban-like for its charming hand-drawn art and a sticky hedgehog mechanic that forces careful planning. The puzzles are tough but fair, with a hint system that avoids spoilers, and the lack of timers or move counts keeps the experience relaxing.
