What players say
This is an enjoyable and visually stunning game to play. The skip puzzle feature is great, as some of the puzzles are confusing. They are not hard, it is just difficult to figure out what you are supposed to do to solve it, as in not knowing what the end result should look like. Other than that it is a great game.
Just an ok puzzle game creative level designs but the puzzles themselves get boring, only about 8 of the 50 ish levels are memorable
The game was fun until you reach the safe door that goes from as puzzle to a game of flappy birds to keep the needle in the area to unlock the door. considering how angry that game made people I'm surprised it was put in a relaxing puzzle game. I hate it. I also know I'm not doing it wrong because i looked up other spoilers and that is what it is. waste of time.
