Definitely a good, relaxing game for just a buck. The optical illusion puzzles are fun, though completing all 120 levels can get a bit repetitive. Still, it's worth buying for a chill, minimalist puzzle experience.

This game is pretty awesome I really enjoy it, especially for the price. Could definitely use a dark mode and audio level sliders though rather than only being able to toggle music on or off. Still definitely recommend, maybe avoid playing at night to save your retina.

I remember playing this game on my iPad so much when I was younger but the puzzles were too complicated for my child brain to understand. When I saw that it was on Steam I knew I had to get it immediately. It was definitely worth getting and finally beating all 120 levels.

This is a game I love to boot up when I'm tired or sick. It gives me something to do and relax with when I am unable to invest fully into a story or PvP.

Fun and cheap puzzler. Essentially a maze game, only the maze is a mobius tree (like a mobius strip, only with branching paths, all essentially on the same side) Probably somewhere between 5 and 10 hours to get most of the way through depending on how good you are. Currently past 75 at time of writing with decent puzzler experience. Definitely worth the 99 cents it sells for.
