This game reminds me a lot of the Flash games I played online many years ago, and I mean that in only the best way. The mechanics and controls are fairly simple, and guiding your little stick man through the various puzzles is quite intuitive. I didn't find any of the puzzles extremely challenging, and there isn't much of a story outside of some environmental storytelling, but I didn’t mind. Really my only complaint is that the game is so short, and that it ends just after it introduced the most interesting puzzle mechanic. For the full price, it's a little bit hard to justify the purchase as the game is only a few hours long, but at its current sale price, it's definitely worth it, and I'd recommend picking it up if you enjoy puzzle games.
Really cool concept for a puzzle platformer! Some of the puzzles are really baked my noodle. I don't think It's worth the full price, but it looks like it goes on sale regularly for <$10 at which point it's great. The idea is neat, the execution is great. It tested my patience a few times, but thats just part of puzzle platforming. The soundtrack is very nice too. In the best way possible, it relaxed me into a nap a few times. Playing it horizontally on my sofa may have also contributed.
