Very fun and interesting game! It is a cool spin on puzzle games similar to it, such as Baba is You but with interesting twists of using hex movement and intricate rule structures!

"That Makes Sense" is a rather clever puzzle game where the words on the hex cells form the solution to the puzzle themselves, allowing you to somewhat define your goal as part of the puzzle mechanism. What do you do in the game? You move things around the hex map to form right right adjacent partners to make a workable puzzle goal and redefine the rules of the game, which you then meet. If you can. It's correctly been likened to another similar puzzle game called "Baba is You". Another thing this has in common with Baba is You, this game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy". Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create. That doesn't mean it's okay not to bother! Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. This looks more like a mobile app or a browser game than a serious PC game... this is on t…

I haven't played much of it yet, because keyboard controls make my head hurt, but from what I've experienced (just the first two puzzles) it's a delightful game. I'm looking forward to the rest, and love the twist on Baba mechanics that do actually set this game apart :)
