Not recommended Jul 27, 2026

More frustrating than interesting. The game isn't on a grid so getting things slightly out of alignment results in a combination of events that push you outside of what you want to do. The concept is good, but the execution leaves so much more. I was hoping for some clever puzzles, but it is more about dexterity and timing than it is about solving things using your brain. 2/10

Super, super frustrating. The trailer video shows you what to do. But if you get things out of alignment, good luck trying to realign. Pressing an arrow key for exactly the right amount of time means you have to stop on the arrow, and then get off the arrow. Abstracted out 3 times, the timing is insane and mind-bending. For a couple of bucks, I suppose it was worth a laugh. But WAY more frustrating than I would have thought. Fair warning!
