How it feels

a serene yet mentally demanding journey through impossible geometry, encouraging careful observation and creative problem-solving.

What players say

A short and relaxing puzzle game built around Penrose triangle optical illusions, though players say the concept feels repetitive after the first few dozen levels. Criticisms include a slow menu and no keyboard controls.
