Players often mention the steep learning curve but praise the clever level design once the mechanics click. With no hand-holding, it’s a game that demands patience but delivers satisfying breakthroughs. Since release in 2017, it’s gained a cult following for its pure puzzle focus and lack of filler. Available on PC, Switch, and macOS, it’s a compact package that stretches its brainy gameplay across hours of problem-solving.
