What players say
Up until a few minutes ago, I was torn on how I felt about this game. I still feel that it has a couple of self-imposed issues that make it unadvisable for some people, especially those with limited controller options - while the game supports keyboard, joystick and mouse, a couple of levels are very specifically designed and marked as being unplayable with the mouse only. There's a whole zone of timed-movement maps...

A pleasant little journey through a relatively unusual "rope behind you" mechanic and interesting things it can interact with.
A chill simple puzzle game The game gives you 6 puzzle series of 15 puzzles each (except the last one - it has 13). Puzzles are easy to medium difficulty with different mechanics between series. A nice game to spend 20-30min per session.
