What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's charming art style, cute aesthetic, and polished presentation with a relaxing soundtrack, noting it works smoothly with no technical issues. However, the consensus is that the game is too short and lacks sufficient depth, with too few levels that don't escalate in difficulty, making it feel like an incomplete tutorial rather than a full game—most players feel the ten dollar price point is unjustified for the limited content and missing features like an editor.

This is really the tutorial for the ten dollar version of this game that doesn't exist. It's an interesting implementation that appears like an attempt at combining programming with a physical space problem (your code blocks have to fit within a certain size box), but it's never really capitalized on. What is there is well polished and works well; you can even see the setup for combining various basic programming problems (pathfinding, towers of hanoi, etc.) into more complex solutions... but then you finish a level, get dumped out to the map and spend several minutes looking to see if you missed a path only to realize that you hit the end. No victory screen, just a map with nothing else to do. It's almost like the developer just got bored and threw the thing up there. $10 is way too much for this game, but if I try to come up with what I think is a fair price the answer is any amount is unfair; it's like paying for the first chapter of a book that never gets finished. Ultimately there are better options, some free, that provide a better experience. If you can find Manufactoria (if you can find it and get it running, yay Flash) is what this most felt like; Spacechem would probabl…

Its good but needs to be longer. Like every other area being as long as the blue area. But its good. Also it needs an editor.

A short and easy game. Almost too short and easy. The core idea of the game is solid, but I think there weren't enough levels to have explored it fully. At the same time, what levels the game does have barely increase in difficulty. This doesn't mean it's bad, of course; if you're new to programming games and don't want too much challenge, then this game is perfectly fine. That being said, there are some things about the game that bug me - like how the placing of pieces feels janky at times, the level ending animation is just a bit too slow, and the way the world map reacts to the mouse is disorienting. These small issues for me personally detracted from the enjoyment of what was otherwise a straightforwardly cute game. Had I gotten it at full price, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Just found this while browsing through the on sale list of steam, the image instantly caught my eye. - It's super cute, the soundtrack is just lovely and relaxing (that's also coming from someone with chronic migraines where the slightest sound can set it off), - The artwork is smooth and beautiful to look at game runs smoothly, i haven't crossed any annoying little bits, or bad controls, everything is working just as intended and in the cutest way possible! This was made by 2 people, 2. definitely worth the listed pricing. will also be keeping my eye on any future creations!

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
