Great game, so far I've got to level 54, and I plan to finish the game and even try and write my own levels.
Music nice and relaxing - just what you need when concentrating on a difficult level.

A nice cozy lil game to keep you occupied (and sometimes humbled lol). The puzzles are pretty straight forward while still keeping you thinking, with plenty I had to come back to later as they took a bit of thinking outside of the box (I really like that there's an option to go to the next level even if you don't complete the puzzle...). Overall a lovely experience, the music is super calming which is perfect for a puzzle game, and I can imagine myself coming back to this at a later date to finish off the one's I was too smooth to complete :D
Would for sure recommend, felt really nice playing this all bundled up with my steam deck :)

Zen little puzzle game based around a simple tile-piling mechanic, which gets tweaked with new additions as the game progresses. The art is pretty, and the way the path lights up at the end of a level is satisfying.

really cool lil puzzle game!! simple enough to get through levels if you're not trying to get max points, fun accumulation of rules and mechanics over time, and given that i keep forgetting how i did what i just did i am definitely gonna be able to play it multiple times
getting max points though. devious little sucker. or i'm bad at this (possible)

Pretty, nice soundtrack, calm. Ramps up fairly smoothly (but I could nitpick some). Gets quite involved and convoluted, so you need patience. Can recommend, but if you're achievement hunting it's going to be quite hard work to 100%, I think (I didn't even try).
Flip, move, stack and place tiles to open up a clear path from starting line to final gate. 100 levels in 5 themed level chapters: Meadow, wetlands, forest etc. The tile types, board square types and open- and lock-buttons get more and more complex as you progress through the levels. Many entail [b]a lot[/b] of shifting tiles around and moving tiles in and out of stacks, shifting stacks, restacking in different order etc. Towards the end it got a bit too convoluted and timeconsuming for my patience and brains, but the first 80 were pretty good for the most part and fun. Enjoyed it !
You get points for solving each level, and more points for solving better (fewer moves).
Very pretty, nice colours and plants and flowers, and little bugs and butterflies and such (yes and some teensy spiders too!) The soundtrack I really liked, especially the first part with ambient birdsong and bird chattering ;-)
It doesn't have SKIP, but at least opens up 2 levels at a time, so you can be stuck on a level, and as long as you manage the next one, you still get to move ahead into the next levels. That's better than many games. But I still wish that puzzle games weren't so stingy with the levels (I've paid for them, after all), so that players can try everything freely. I mean, lots of times, the progression in difficulty is a bit bumpy, or even disjointed. And then there's the fact that people's heads work differently, and I might have trouble with smth 'medium-ish' early on, but then just breeze through smth 'difficult' that comes later. IF I'm allowed to actually get there. (OK, gripe over - this game/dev. isn't among the worst on this, even though it could be better).
No Guides anywhere that I could find, not on Steam, not out on the net (or maybe I just didn't find it, of course, but I did search!). So you're on your tod here.
It's really nice-looking, works fine on simple gear, no glitches or bugs, saving's fine, and fun for quite some time. And then it depends on your patience and on your cleverness too, I guess, if you get through all of it. Or not.

A very satisfying puzzle game, in which you try to clear a path to the goal by moving and stacking numbered cards. The rules are very simple, with only a handful of card types to keep track of, but the level design very cleverly uses these mechanics to create some real brain-twisters!
New mechanics are introduced progressively and don't overwhelm, and the very clear presentation and intuitive way they function makes it easy to keep track of them. For those who want a bit of an optimization challenge many levels can be solved without turning over all the cards.
An undo function makes it easy to poke around as you wrap your head around each level, and also helps with the issue in later levels where some basic moves involve a lot of re-stacking.
A really lovely touch is how, when you finally solve a level and clear the path (feeling very smart as you do so), an incredibly satisfying animation of the tiles lighting up plays, with sounds effects matching the music!
And all this is wrapped up in a beautiful package, with lovely nature-themed art, cute little insects on the card borders, and relaxing piano music in the background.
A note on accessibility : colour-blind players should note that one type of card can only be differentiated by colour - it is possible to work around, but take it into consideration.
All in all, a definite recommendation!

Cute and calm - good for settling down in the evening. You can choose to take it easy and work through the levels rapidly or challenge yourself to get the maximum score on each of them. I like the level editor but fair warning, you need to solve your own puzzle before you can save it!
And this might just be for me but, the sound effects when moving tiles are in tune with the piano music and I find that incredibly satisfying.
