I have 10 hrs of game play and have almost completed zone 1. A wonderful stress free game of imaginative puzzles. Kudos to the developer. A constant stream of relaxing music makes game play enjoyable even with the volume up a few decibels. Some of the puzzles are relatively simple while others require some extreme planning. Teddy bear collection has been a challenge in few rooms so far. Definitely a must for a gamer who wants puzzles and not a story line.

Relaxing piano. A seemingly infinite supply of awesome puzzles to solve. Beautiful environments with some clever mechanics. Every time I thought I had found the end of the game, another huge area opened up. It would be nice to have a counter that tells me how many puzzles I have solved. It doesn't need to have an out of number like 4/100 but knowing how many I have completed would be great. Check this game out. https://youtu.be/_NIewvZklBk

Just not for me. Controller support was very janky. The music was irritating beyond words after 5 minutes. There very few ambient sounds, making the whole thing feel a bit sterile and unengaging. The "puzzles" are (from the little I saw) to do with redirecting lasers to hit sensors. That can be quite good fun in 2D, but the controller implementation was so poor it was just frustrating. There's no story, no setting, no reason to be here, and the graphics alone are nothing special, so there's no eye candy either.

I invested more than two hours finishing most most of the first two worlds and before deciding that I really wasn't having any fun. Most of the puzzles are extremely boring and repeat the same few game mechanics, which generally do not combine in interesting ways. It takes a moment to figure out what needs to be done and then you spend 90 percent of the time on very fiddly execution e.g. trying to rotate mirrors to line up exactly as you need to hit the target. Mirrors are just an example - they are not all mirror "puzzles", but all the overarching mode of operation is 10% thinking and 90% execution using janky controls, with no kind of snapping when manipulating objects.

Fantastic game, exactly my type of game. It is basically a series of around 80 puzzles, you can do them in any order with no time limit or other penalties. Very relaxing and a huge variety of puzzle types. Very sad when it finished. The graphics are beautiful, gameplay is simple. I played for over 15 hours and my (grown up) kids had a go, absolute value for money. Puzzles range from easy to hard, variety is what this game is all about. If you're a puzzle fan this just has to be in your collection. Hope there's more to come.
