What players say

well finally decide finish this game , bought long ago and well here I go. this game is really good. The solutions can take time and get the achivement of points can be hard.. or will be hard if I not say this first, focus in get all the blocks first, and then the flowers so you get more points. Beware of places that you can't go back but except for that is all good. Give it a try if like puzzles and spatial memory.

It is what I like (i am 82 Years Old) it is just hard enough that you feel good when you get to the end and win.

This game has screwed my mind, but in a good way. When I started browsing Steam's store and beholding a confusing world of game options I'd have never thought existed before then, this is one that landed in my crosshairs. It's simple and spectacular and a game above all else with a surreal premise and no explanation - a true early-to-mid-2000's zeitgeist game despite it being listed here on Steam as of 2010...
