I played this when I was very young and autistic I constantly skipped levels, OCDs, and never finished it. Replaying this with a more functioning brain was INCREDBILE I REALLY underappreciated this game as a kid: the levels, mechanics, music, art style, and the charm is just great!!!
I built a tower. It fell. I built another tower. It also fell. Eventually I built something that didn't fall fall, and I felt like a Nobel‑prize‑winning engineer. This game made me care deeply about small blobs of sentient goo. A masterpiece.
In my own opinion, it's one of the best Physic's based puzzle games out there. I love the simplicity of it as well as the references to the game being built upon basic physics equations with color. 10/10 Childhood game.
