More about Dungeon and Puzzles

Steam's global achievement data puts about 7 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 226 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2021 to August 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

It's a decent concept, but I didn't find the puzzles deeply engaging and the validation / reward for getting a perfect score on a puzzle didn't motivate me to get them. All around totally ok game, but I don't feel like finishing it. - I played 60 levels in 100 minutes.

The par system is far too tedious, and without it the game is too simplistic and easy. They should have just designed a good puzzle game and not introduced that crap system. Yeah you can say "Just ignore the par, just crash and stumble through the game. It's fun." Except you could say that about anything, and it's not fun. Just watch a youtube playthrough, it's fun (no). Just look at the preview images of the game...
