A puzzle game that managed to impress me with how creative its puzzles are and break my brain with how complicated its puzzles get. Loved it.
Starts out really strong but gets weaker over time. It never feels like the game is fully exploring its potential and some of the later mechanics are pretty badly introduced.
It's a great puzzle game. The core mechanic is very basic, push boxes around to specific locations. This concept is truly explored every possible mind bending way as every world has a different twist or trick to this core concept. And it mostly works.
I did stop finishing the worlds 100% after the half point as it did hamper the pacing too much for me. Doing 10 puzzles with the same twist vs. doing 30 of them just gets little too repetitive for my taste.

This game is so good. It's a really cool concept and variation on the sokoban idea, and it THOROUGHLY explores it. There are lots of new mechanics, so the game never gets stale, and the level design is really clever. They really push all the mechanics to their limits, and it's super well designed. The required levels to beat the game are all pretty easy, but the extra levels can get complicated, especially the post game levels.
I feel I need to compare this to Baba is You, in that the game is actually pretty close in terms of genius. But this game is leagues easier than that one. And I think that's a good thing. This game is still hard to figure out, but it felt way less overwhelming to me than Baba is You did.
I highly recommend this game. One of the best puzzle games out there.

I haven't completed every puzzle in the game just yet, I have a bit over 30 left, but wow. This is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played, my second favourite behind the untoppable Baba is You for me. The way it balances introducing new mechanics and making use of old ones is incredible, 2022 isn't very far along yet but this is definitely a contender for GOTY for me. It's insane how far some mechanics are pushed, and then pushed even further still. My single complaint is that I felt there wasn't enough difficulty, but not everything needs to be Baba Is You, where I spent upwards of 3 hours completing some single levels. I beat the main game in about 15 hours, 100%ing every world as I went. But yeah, I played the demo before this launched and I had faith it would be genius, I'm glad I was right.
EDIT: I've 100%'d the game now, the post-game is incredibly cool and I love the slight jump in difficulty for the final world, this game is just so awesome.

Good if you love puzzles
Another game that helps prove the theory that the cuter a puzzle game looks, the more devious and complex its puzzles are.
A puzzle game with a brilliant core mechanic that explores every twist, trick, and contradiction you can think of. Your mind grows to adapt to a concept that is impossible in our world, yet somehow has incredible self-consistency within the gameworld. I loved it so much, constantly laughing at the utter ridiculousness of the paraboxes and mindboggled from the simplest rooms with subtle, clever solutions. Absolutely sensational puzzle game, in leagues with Baba is You.
Prolly more interesting for puzzle people. 🤷♀️
Demo had me repeatedly saying "wow" under my breath. This is one to keep your eye on.
