Summary

It emits a retro atmosphere what with its Chiptune soundtrack and 8 Bit style graphics, simple controls and a simple puzzle-solving formula means the game is accessible and fun. It’s one of those games where it’s not that taxing on the brain but it is so cheery and non-intrusive that you play it in one sitting. No reason to go back afterward however as this is definitely a one-shot type deal, no scores or timers means it just you vs logic. It’s satisfying when you twig the solution and it’s frustrating when you don’t bit over 112th is a fun puzzle game and a good mental workout.
