What it lacks in spectacle, it makes up for in coziness. Coming back to it over a decade later, I actually remembered some of the simplistic, silhouetted levels fairly vividly. Its visuals aren't anything remarkable, but they linger like a warm, comforting memory— which, it often has been for me over the years.
Truthfully, much of this game isn't particularly remarkable: the physics puzzles are fine if fiddly, the movement is a little slippery yet satisfying enough, the gimmicks are cute and enjoyable (if not occasionally frustrating later on). It's the singularly gentle vibe that persists, underscored greatly by Chris Schlarb's soundtrack, where the guitars, strings, synths, and occasional horns hardly ever become more than a whisper. The game's intentions never seem to aspire above wanting to be simply fun and cozy, but in those regards, it succeeds beautifully.
