How it feels
A methodical puzzle-platformer where you drill and recycle blocks, requiring careful planning and a playful, retro feel.

What players say
Players consistently call out the lack of an undo button and the need to restart entire levels after mistakes, which makes late puzzles frustrating. Controller support is broken for modern Xbox controllers. The game leans on meta references and nostalgia, and while some praise its unique puzzles, others find the difficulty uneven and the platforming floaty.
