How it feels
a breezy, anime-infused blend of visual-novel storytelling and quick puzzle battles with a warm, quirky tone.

What players say
Players love the art and characters but feel the story rushes to an abrupt ending that leaves many questions unanswered. The real-time match-3 combat splits opinion - some find it engaging, others frustrating with enemies that crowd the player. It is a short game that many wish had more content or a sequel.
