If you think you could like a sliding block puzzle game, it's definitely worth picking up. Some people dislike the timer/move counter, but whether you like it will really depend on whether you like speeding through these sorts of thing. I personally liked them a lot and the Portal 2 puzzles were great to get gold on.
