How it feels
a thoughtful, methodical puzzle game where you carefully trade health to manipulate obstacles and find the most efficient path to the exit.

What players say
Players enjoy the clever core mechanic where health changes affect block sizes, but they split on difficulty: some find the curve smooth while others call it uneven. Many note minor issues like animation delay and the lack of an undo button, though the short length and fair price are praised.
