What players say
It's basically a game about combining different things and figuring out which combinations work. It's quite enjoyable at first, but later it becomes too chaotic, with unintuitive combinations that make the game much less relaxing. This isn't a negative review, but I definitely lean more towards neutral than positive. The game is also fairly short. At least it makes up for it with the humor known from World of Goo .

Throw your toys into your fire, and play with them as they burn. An adventure that takes place almost entirely in front of a fireplace - about looking up up up out of the chimney, and the cold world just on the other side of the wall. From the creators of World of Goo and Human Resource Machine.
