What players say
Cool little combatless puzzle metroidvania. Timing required occasionally. Quite unique. Highly recommended.

A simple puzzle platformer, or so it seems, at first. Slowly you begin to realise the complexity of the interlocking puzzles and achieve a really satisfying sense of how this works. Highly recommended for a game where you will not have to spend 3 hours learning the interface, but you can just get into it and play.
