Punches way above its weight.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h2]◈ THE FEEL[/h2] It feels like someone handed you a crossword puzzle, put on an ambient playlist, and left the room. No instructions. No interruptions. Just you, a little plane, and clouds. The whole thing is quiet in a way that's actually hard to pull off, not empty, just... calm. After whatever you were playing before, this is a genuine palate cleanser. [hr][/hr] [h2]◈ HOW IT PLAYS[/h2] Pure puzzle. Each level introduces a mechanic through the level itself no text, no tooltips, no hand-holding. You figure it out by doing it wrong first. There are 9 distinct groups of puzzle set in total and they layer cleanly on each other without feeling padded. Some levels will genuinely make you stop and rethink. The controls are smooth enough that failure never feels like the game's fault. [hr][/hr] [h3]◈ PROS[/h3] [list] [*] Teaches itself entirely through design. No tutorial text anywhere. That's rare and it works. [*] Genuinely makes you think sideways. Some solutions you won't see coming. [*] Totally frictionless. Boot it up, you're playing. No menus getting in the way.

Game starts off as an intuitive, relaxing puzzler with charming 60s style vectorgraphics, but towards the end things become a bit obscure/unclear and VERY hard. The music is not for me at all. Due to the general high pitch I muted it within minutes. I will still recommend the game at a good discount.

The great thing about puzzle games is that you can uninstall them and never play them again. This is a nicely-made game, the interface is good, it looks good, has nice sounds, the puzzles increase in difficulty. I paid about $0.50 for it, so it's not a big outlay, gave me something to complete. I just found it tedious, didn't get any real satisfaction from solving puzzles. By the end I was just trying every permutation and some of these levels are tough, I couldn't just work them out or solve them and even trying to remember every possible permutation was difficult. But I got there in the end. I am semi-triggered to re-install and get the remaining two achievements that I somehow missed, but I dunno, I have better things to do with my time. For $0.50 it's fine. It's nicely made, it really is. For another bit of my time? Probably not. Is it bad? No. Not at all. It's fine. Would I recommend it? Well, I wonder - maybe I just don't like puzzle games. Or maybe I prefer Hexcells (Infinite), a game I would play again, or Portal 2, a game I will remember forever.

Mediocre.

Decent and the pricee is right. Many puzzles are just guessing/randomly getting it however. Super hard to guess what the plane is going to do on later levels

A fun little line puzzle game where you fly a plane to its destination using different game mechanics.
