The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Exit the Maze puzzles. Easily solved by backstepping path from the key, and exit. Nothing fancy yet much more brainstormings and fulfilling than guiding a little blue ball to it's finishing bay. Unnecessary redundancy for twenty achievements for passing each stage. Easy. Playable.

Fun game that adds another new puzzle concept on top of qop 1 and 2. Levels continue to get more interesting, and I feel like it is still quite fresh. Overall, the game is becoming incrementally more fun, with a great blend of minimalism and difficulty. I enjoyed the game, and I recommend you give this a shot.

Bought this game just for the trading cards - and honestly, no regrets 💸. It's super cheap, the cards sell well, so I even ended up a bit in profit 😎. The game itself is a nice bonus - simple, but surprisingly addictive 🧩.
