Obscenely janky, the least responsive controls I've seen in a long, long time, broken saves.

I cannot imagine how the controls passed QA. I simply quit playing because the clumsiness drove me crazy.

Wonderful movement puzzle game! Only complaint is the motion sickness that some movement of between the levels in the square box triggers, so can't play it for long stretches, other than that, it is wonderful!

Note: I received this game key for free to try but all my opinions are my own. Receiving a game key does not automatically warrant a good or bad review. (I have left poor reviews for free games before). I just started this game and it probably needs a introduction level to explain what you are doing (moving the camera to position the paths). But once you get the mechanics down, this is a pretty incredible game. I don't usually leave a review with less than a couple of hours of game time but I'm hooked and I know I won't stop playing this one. Its a very fun casual game to pass the time.

Just a cutesy little game. Nothing to write home about, but if you're a fan of the monument valley series, this probably works for you even though it's missing the charm and emotion the much more famous trilogy has. Still fun and mechanically satisfying even though the humor is very subpart and the "collectibles" leave a lot to be desired.
