What players say

Players liken it to a modern Q-Bert with simple isometric puzzles where you step on all tiles to grow a garden. The controls, especially on diagonals, cause frequent missteps that can mean instant death. Reviewers are split on whether the difficulty is satisfying or punishing, and some note that the game requires an active Steam connection to launch.
