After all, map solving is hungry work.

Folded the map, lost my mind, found a muffin. 10/10, would origam-yeet myself into another dimension again. Puzzles? Bent. Logic? Crumpled. My sense of direction? Folded neatly into a corner and abandoned. LOVE IT!

I've been having so much fun playing this game! I absolutely love these puzzles and that having to fold the map makes you think. I haven't made it through all of the levels yet, but I definitely recommend this game if you like puzzle games.

[h2]A decent little puzzle game[/h2] Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ It is budget Paper Trail, it doesn't do anything that crazy mechanics-wise, and can be completed under an hour (24 levels total), but if you want to scratch the same itch it is a good short fun.

Cute concept and fun, short puzzles. The rating system annoys me to no end since it is based on number of moves and folds, but you don't know the other side of the map or the locations of chest items while playing. You need to memorize or have a guide or something to actually earn three stars on levels. Play the game if you like the puzzle concepts, but ignore the score system entirely unless you want to take notes and return just to execute the solution later. Would love to see an update where all info is there and you can actually solve the puzzle before moving if that's the approach they want to use.

I bought this game to support the person maintaining the Autobar Addon in World of Warcraft. I've used this addon since 2005, and really appreciate how well it's been maintained over the decades. This is a neat puzzle game with simple key/lock design at first, but quickly ramped up to a nice twist on a 2d puzzler. My wife greatly enjoys puzzle games, so I'll be sure to point it out to her!
