turned my brain into a mush, 10/10

Wow, it's kinda hard to describe how great this game is. It's VERY unique. This is a 2d platformer with match three type puzzle mechanics built in. The mechanics are blended in such an interesting way and are used to create such great puzzles, both big and small, with a complexity that I didn't really think would happen when I started playing. There are a lot more mechanics than I would have thought as well. There are a lot of ways to interact with the environment that are not readily apparent from the start, and the platforming is woven into the puzzling very well, even requiring timing at times! I play a lot of puzzle games, so I assumed this would be just a quick little game. Nope, not for me anyway. When I first started playing, I was like, okay, this is neat, I can see how this will be fun. I hit a wall early on and got frustrated. Then something clicked and I made a lot of progress. I hit several other walls as I progressed where I got annoyed and frustrated with the game. I kept pushing through though and figure out what I was doing wrong, the ways I boxed in my thinking, and finally solving a puzzle I was struggling with, what a great feeling. I'm not sure how long it took me, as I left it on a few times, but if I had to guess, 100% took me around 20 hours. I struggled on some of the puzzles and some of the larger more connected puzzles. That final puzzle for the ending though, while not the hardest puzzle, felt really good to complete. The art and music for the game are simple, but charming. I found that after playing for a certain amount of time, the music would start to have static. This happened several times for me. Sometimes a restart would fix it, others it wouldn't. Not sure what that was about. Anyway, this is a great game that really should have more reviews than it does. I'm adding the 33rd positive review to keep it at 100%. I hope more people find and enjoy this game. I look forward to whatever the devs make next. I think the asking price is fair for the quality of the puzzle experience, but if it's on sale, and you like puzzles, it's a steal.

Incredible puzzle game, with just required minimum of mechanics and levels (in open world). Doesn't overstays it's welcome, doesn't requires you to solve 10 same sokoban puzzles, and instead tests your rule discovery and understanding. Instead - it explores it's mechanics initially introduced initially and in middle of the game - making you to come up with entirely new solution - that's all you, While some of last puzzles might be daunting - they are not required for normal game completion and only here for completionists, delving deep into cursed part of mechanics. Total must play if you like puzzles

Very underrated puzzle platformer/metroidbrainia, working a lot of interesting twists into a seemingly simple ruleset.

A challenging puzzle platformer with "match 3" elements. The puzzles are laid out in a neat interconnected world which makes exploring feel fun, with a lot of nice surprises with the puzzle mechanics.
