What players say

Went for a walk among monuments - they started chewing my puzzles. Now I'm part of the exhibit. My mind's museum runs smoother than reality.

It's a $2 indie game. There isn't much to it at all, but for the price of a vending machine snack, it's a pretty cool little game.

The final boss is invincible on the last level on hard difficulty - making it unwinnable. Looking online, it seems the developer has absolutely no interest fixing this. Disappointing, do not waste your time on this.
