What players say
Players praise the clever time-manipulation puzzles and satisfying aha moments, but some find it short and note that later puzzles, especially the hidden stars, become frustrating. The anniversary edition offers updated graphics and extensive developer commentary, though opinions are split on whether it improves on the original.
