Summary

Whilst it looks simple, The truth is, The game is very solid and provides many hours of brain-taxing fun. Its very much a one and done experience but the actual experience is fun and worth a play through. We occasionally get new puzzles added for free but even as it stands today, It’s a nice little time waster.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
