What players say

Players are split on this short puzzle-platformer. Many see it as an obvious mobile port with cute graphics and a calming piano soundtrack, but nearly as many report broken collision detection and a frustrating drift mechanic that turns the game into a rage-quit experience. Others find it too simple and repetitive to hold interest for long, while a few enjoy it in short bursts.
