Game starts fun. Then switches are introduced that can move other switches. Then the game becomes the opposite of fun. If devs just delete all the switch levels from the game and end it at this point, it would actually be a good game.

The game builds up its concepts well, and becomes startlingly complex. The music is good, and the colors are bold and well-used. I am eager to see it through, but I have just gotten to the startlingly complex portions with the switches. But is it fun? Yes.

Fun little puzzle game until the point where switches are introduced which can move other switches, from that point onwards it gets (near) impossible to finish without using the very handy solution guide made by Milkaselnuss.

The first 30-ish levels are genuinely fun and for a dollar I can recommend it on those terms alone. In the final stretch you have a pile of 5+ switches all moving each other, and it quickly becomes almost impossible to figure out unassisted. The problem is this is a game where a solvable state is already very complex and not especially identifiable by eye to begin with, so having to screw around editing an unsolvable board in ways where each switch affects the *entire board including the each other's positions in arbitrarily long cycles* explodes the complexity to a point where it would be a pretty tall ask of algorithmic solving, much less a meatbag brain.

Puzzle game about fitting different pieces together as if in a jigsaw puzzle. 40 levels and a couple of different game mechanics to boot. Quite a few of the levels are quite hard - especially when levers that enable you to move the specific base pieces around - and will be enticing to those that like a good challenge, not necessarily those that are seeking a relaxing easy difficulty outlet. Ok soundtrack but is just one that loops over and over, gets boring very quickly. Overall, decent puzzle game at a great price point. 9/10

Very fun to play, quiet challenging and nostalgic. I recommend it to everyone who wants a game to relax in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It is worth in and out of promotion. I like this colorful climate and how I can do the levels without worrying about the weather or how to do it in the best possible way, just do the slow and calm task.

A different puzzle game, very challenging. O loved the way the pieces look like real very good use of shaders. Minimalist and elegant. I had very much fun playing, highly recommend!

Minimol decided to step outside of their comfort zone and create a game that doesn't involve knight pieces or abstract chess. Does it work? Yes. [b][u]The Good[/u][/b]: [list] [*]Decent amount of challenge for a simple concept. [*]OST sounds like an 80s character traversing an abandoned town and mulling things over. [*]A few gimmicks are added: rotating pieces, new colors, larger boards, switches that manipulate the boards, and bridged pieces. [/list] [b][u]The Neutral[/u][/b]: [list] [*]People seem to have trouble with the switch gimmick which moves parts of the game board. They didn't bother me too much, but I get it. [/list] [b][u]The Bad[/u][/b]: [list] [*]The camera. You can tilt it up and down to get a better view, but it offers a worse view of the pieces, as you won't be able to see them all. [/list] [b][u]Pro Tips[/u][/b]: [list] [*]Start by seeing what pieces will only fit in one space on the board and then work from there. This helped me when switches were introduced. [/list] Minimol games usually incorporate chess in some way, so this was pretty different for them. If you find satisfaction in piece things together or solving alien jigsaw puzzles, go for it. It's not like you'll break the bank from buying this anyway.

This is in a weird category, because some of it was actually pretty fun. Unfortunately, there was also a lot of anti-fun. The switches in particular basically ruin the game. When there's one or two, okay, it's interesting, but when they suddenly throw five switches that impact each other it just gets ridiculous. The core mechanics here are pretty good, but the puzzle design just does not consistently deliver. Levels either feel trivial or like pure brute force too often for me to recommend this.

Wow, I am used to puzzle games, but this one is hard to finish! It has a nice (and very unique) atmosphere, relying on the music a lot to set the mood (which is amazing for a small game like this). It starts easy and becomes very hard toward the end. Recommended for all puzzle lovers.
