What players say
Players describe it as a polished, minimalist puzzle game that takes under two hours to finish. The goal of earning three stars on each level by optimizing moves is the main challenge, and many find a guide necessary for that. Some note the ice-physics are familiar from other games, and a few encountered a bug where stars did not unlock properly.
