This is one game that makes you wonder how it stayed obscure until you finally play it. A metroidvania-esque puzzle platforming with decent art should’ve been a banger, but the lack of accessibility, and QOL features gates its true potential. Would be perfect if you could watch multiple screens at once instead of being confined to a single screen. All the interesting puzzles involve multiple screens interacting. Deciphering the objective and executing a solution gets excruciating long because you must remember the state of these multiple screens and what each one holds. That’s where most of this game’s difficulty comes; it’d be a breeze if you could get a full perspective on the area at a glance rather than relying on memorization and trial and error. The platforming is light and simple; it does not justify shifting the game to real-time from its obvious vertical sokoban roots. The game makes players spend a lot of time running around the screens while holding the firefly’s effect. That's a pure waste of time, your resistance to this dictates how long and far you go.

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

A good puzzle platformer with some fun insights and some great endgame puzzles. A midgame timing section had some rougher parts but the highs more than made up for them.

Really excellent puzzle platformer for the more serious thinky games puzzler, with far too few positive reviews. A must IMO.

I feel as clever getting unintended solutions as intended ones. (Also, the true ending is so creative!)

Keeps things interesting with lots of slowly revealed subtleties in the game mechanics.
