Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a fantastic puzzle game! A simple start gradually advancing in difficulty as you progress with great tutorials to explain mechanics. I’m loving this game and don’t seem to have any blaring sounds like another reviewer suggested only lovely background music that works well. This game reminds me of another favourite of mine called Stuffo both are criminally underrated. Don’t hesitate to get this gem and support this talented developer it is well worth the teeny tiny price! Very cool,clever and original design.

Decent puzzler but…

…even with sound turned off the BLARING company logo sounds with each new load, and then the game sound has to be turned off again. Irksome bug!
