What players say

Players say this match-3 game is far from casual, with levels that take over an hour and punishing mechanics like a lantern system that limits moves. Many compare it to Runefall but find it more tedious and less relaxing. A few enjoy the exploration twist, but multiple reviewers report game-breaking crashes that delete saves.
