What players say
I just finished the game today including all the DLCs and I loved it! Got all possible achievements too. Will be looking forward to more in the future! Seriously, this game is amazing. I definitely recommend it to people who like puzzle games. Heck, I think I'll buy the soundtrack too. Keep up the good work devs! :D The only thing is that the Pirate Isle DLC was a bit laggy, but I guess it's just because the map is...

Cozy little game. Absolutely recommended. You can make nice dioramas with cute pixelated graphics. Building is both a calming and satisfying experience, though could get frustratingly masochistic in bigger sets. Sometimes it is logical which part can you put after the other, sometimes absolutely not. Also, when putting the face on the snowman it took an insane amount of tries to make the game feel it is on the right...
