What players say

Players describe a Sokoban-like puzzle game where you trap enemies by pushing blocks. Opinions split on whether it feels more suited to mobile than PC, and some say enemies move unfairly compared to the player. Many note it starts simple but grows challenging, though a few find it repetitive after a while. Complaints include no windowed mode and no key rebinding.
