Cute, chill, mini, exactly as described! Worth the half-a-coffee I paid for it :-)

I wish zooming in on small builds was possible, so that I can play on my second smaller screen without wasting most of it...

Simple puzzle game with nice clean visuals for a Solid ;-) price.

The music complements it without bothering you. It has a level restart button, 1-move undo and level selection on main menu. Achievements not too hard to complete, I had 100% in less than 90 minutes.

The only thing I didn't like was the momentary lock up after moving a piece, kinda slowed me down without reason, especially when played with a touchscreen. If the click registered and queued the animation, it would be fantastic!

Rarely are game wallpaper DLC packs more than a bunch of fancy pictures to look at and forget about, or at least some pretty in-game screenshots.

These ones took some effort to make, as they are separate images not found in-game, and are actually beautiful, and CLEAN as a wallpaper needs to be for your icons to stay visible. I actually just replaced mine with one of these!

I never thought I'd review a free wallpaper DLC but here I am, as I couldn't but commend whoever made this bunch. Great job!

Very Brainy Game!
I bought this game 2 days ago. 10 hours into the game and about 2/3 done (I've got 32 levels so far):

It's probably the hardest simple puzzle platformer. Basic mechanics, very clever solutions. I passed the first 3 levels in some minutes, then got stuck on Level 4 for more than an hour and considered abandoning the game altogether, but after skipping it and passing a couple of the next ones, it finally clicked and I really like the game after all.



The game feels like it was given serious attention to quality of life, which I always love.

Pros:
  • Skippable levels
    - Very useful to get your brain unstuck. The first 45 levels are all accessible from the start, although playing them in order will help to learn the game mechanics.
  • Unlimited undo
    - A must for puzzle games and impressive in a PICO-8 game, kudos to the dev!
  • Fast and easy restarts when needed.
  • Accessible, no advanced gamer skills required
    - It's about problem-solving, not finger-skills. It does have some basic platforming, but if you've found a solution, you won't need multiple attempts just to execute it, a couple of undos will be the most that's required.

Cons:
  • (?) It's really hard
    - Well, not really a con, but consider it if you like puzzle games that just tickle your brain, but levels pass like a breeze in a minute or two. This one will have you bang your head on a few levels.
  • Fixed keyboard controls (this is a limitation of PICO-8)
    - However, notice that the game has FULL controller support, PICO-8 supports controllers out-of-the-box, it just doesn't display the proper button prompts.



Gamepad Controls:

Move
D-Pad
Jump [Z]
A/Y
Chant [X]
X/B
Menu open
Start
Menu select
A/B/X/Y/Start

Note: Since this is a Steam game, you can always remap the gamepad controls with Steam Input if you need to.



Verdict:
In case it wasn't clear yet, get this! It's a well polished, clever puzzle platformer with simple controls.

Ok, I still don't understand why and how, but this game is actually good :-D

It seems very silly and simple, yet I played the first island and realised I smiled though the whole 10 minutes it took me. Maybe it's just too cute! Maybe it's a dopamine shot :-P
Anyway, you really can't go wrong for this price, especially if you get it on sale.

PS: IndieGala Freebies got me here, I didn't even play the freebie, I played the first one that's F2P on Steam instead and decided to get this too.
