What players say
It's been a while since I actually played through this, but I remember it fondly. It's not a groundbreaking game by any means, but it does what it does (Physics Puzzle Platforming as a marble) well and has a relaxing/melancholic atmosphere. Probably fantastic if you have a Deck and need something relaxing to play on your train home from work.

Very fun game, has 2 different modes both with good difficulty curves for people that don't play many puzzle/platformer games. Or I'm just dumb, lol.
another nifflas banger. even all these years later i still find myself coming back to this one just to play a few levels, super chill soundtrack, really pretty visuals, lots of fun gameplay ideas. can't recommend this one enough
