How it feels

A first-person puzzler where you solve spatial puzzles by expanding and retracting blocks with a shooter, requiring careful energy management and methodical thinking.

What players say

Players are nearly unanimous that the original free version from 2016 was a solid puzzle platformer, but the paid 2023 remake introduced game-breaking bugs, save corruption, and performance issues that make it unplayable for many. The core shooting-red-blocks mechanic is praised, but the remake is widely rejected as a downgrade.
