the game itself is fun. the setting is fun and cartoony with the art style and the music, the building of the story seems well paced and interesting, and the mechanic for the puzzles is original. The pacing of these levels is what is causing me to not recommend this game. The difficulty seems to go from 0 - 100 in the span of 5 levels causing me to not only get a friend to try to help solve it but resulting in looking up the answer to mutter out to myself "what the ♥♥♥♥ is this". If your a puzzle master looking for a challenge than maybe this game is your cup of tea but if your around average at puzzle games you will not have a good time

Great puzzle game- very challenging, but fun. Nice narrative too

Difficult is exactly right. My god some puzzles are brutal and I didnt even fully understand how I managed to complete them. Story is barely there and the has quite a few graphical glitches on the steam deck. Still a fun enough game to get on a sale.

An enjoyable puzzle game that feels like the games The Witness and Tacoma mixed code to make. The puzzles have a nice range of difficulty meaning a lot of trial and error. You’ll either get a puzzle after 1-3 attempts or you will have to methodically process every potential move you have to get through a level. My only complaint is as I play the game on my steam deck, no matter what settings configuration I go through or find as a recommendation, the game is awful with visual glitches. The only game bug I found was in a single level I managed to disconnect from the wire you run around the level.

I've finish 4 (almost 5) of the different puzzle categories, and man, they're all incredibly challenging. I think that puts me at roughly 1/3 done with the game, and I really love it so far. There are also some "corrupted log" riddles you can solve, which are more optional environmental lateral thinking puzzles that are pretty cool and tricky. I haven't looked up a single solution so far, and don't plan to, but that means there were a couple of puzzles that took me over half an hour to complete, though most took me much less time. If you're persistent and really love the feeling of reward you get from that a-ha moment that gets you through a diabolically difficult problem, and don't mind occasionally feeling like your brain is melting, this game is for you. If you're not really fond of flexing the folds in your grey matter, there isn't much else here for you to do. I'd say this is one of the more difficult puzzle games I own, which puts it roughly in line with the more demanding entries in the Zachtronics catalogue. It's a very different kind of intuition that I haven't spent much time developing. Programming problems, even complex ones, are all fairly familiar since I have quite a…

The main character is ever so slightly too wide for several of my intended solutions. It's impossible to judge what will and won't work without trying. It's very annoying to think up a solution, but the character is stopped on an invisible wall, so you need to find a different solution. There is a hint system, but I didn't buy a puzzle game so the game could tell me how to beat it, so I just refunded. I do really like the concept, this would have worked much better without any physics collision mechanics.
