Value puts it in the top 10 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Botanicula ($14.99, scores 68) outscores it, and so does Papetura ($4.07, scores 77). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
This is one of the most unique visual styles I've ever seen. It's incredibly creative. As a bonus, the game also has great sound design and music. Gameplay-wise, there's nothing particularly special. It's just a regular puzzle game.
This game was super cute! Loved the puzzles and the music and all the cute lil dancin!
