Overview: 3D puzzle game.

20260429 (AM Hours):
I was browsing the recommended games on the Steam Deck and decided to play this game. I didn't realize it's a puzzle game. I only played a few levels before getting stuck. The 3D nature of the game makes for a surprising layer of challenge.

Setup: Steam Deck

Steam Game Time: 18 minutes

Steam Game Time: 37 minutes (cumulative game time) / 19 minutes (session game time)

Tried to play one level. I love the creativity of the mechanic but the logic of most of these levels typically escapes me. I like being able to feel as if I figured the solution out (e.g., Baba Is You) as opposed to stumbling upon the solution through pure trial and error.

Steam Game Time: 54 minutes (cumulative game time) / 27 minutes (session game time)

Thoughts:
Pros:
+ 3D puzzle game is interesting.

Neutral:
~ Too difficult?

Cons:
- The UI shows completed levels as blacked out but it's not easy to remember and the individual levels don't have names. This makes it hard to quickly navigate

Rating: 3.0 out of 5

---

Summary:
Perhaps I'm tired of thinking after playing a bunch of Baba Is You.
