What players say

Players praise the clever puzzle design built around recording and restoring object states, with a helpful hint system and three difficulty tracks that let you skip tough levels. The pixel art and music charm, but many note the platforming can be unforgiving and requires precise jumps, especially in the harder sections, and there is no cloud save support.
