I wish sokoban metroidvania was more of a thing, because it would be one of my favourite genres. This game is basically a dream come true because it is everything I ever wanted from this genre rolled in one perfect package. I didn't intend to get all the achievements, but I was so hooked by the clever and diverse puzzles that I couldn't help myself. I am so excited to see the new content the dev plans to add, and I really hope we can get another game out of them because they are incredibly talented. Anyone else who loves this genre and wants more, I would recommend Full Bore. I really, really love that game also.

Really, really well-designed puzzle game. The art is lovely, the vibes are immaculate, and the narrative is really cool.

Very interesting concept of a game but there is one big issue I had. It's pretty hard to tell whether a puzzle is solvable or not at your current point and it can lead to a lot of frustration when you waste a lot of time on something impossible. It's not a game like The Witness where every puzzle is solvable at any time, some are physically impossible until you get a powerup. The puzzles individually are great and it has a good difficulty curve as you progress. You definitely have to go into the game knowing that you must skip some puzzles for later, which might not be for everyone. Overall a great game but the unsolvable puzzles could be conveyed in a better way.

Initially I decided to wait a while for a few QoL updates as there were some flaws in the game that concerned me from other reviewers. Now I finally got to playing it and it's been a nearly perfectly polished experience. If you hesitated to play it at first, now is a good time to try it.

a fantastic little puzzle game, with one caution: this is a strong "metroidvania", which unfold in two ways: [*] you'll occasionally stumble upon puzzles that you don't have enough abilities to solve, and you won't realize it until headbanging into the wall half an hour later. --- unlike the original action-oriented Metroid, where you can basically observe if enemies are "too hard" (hinting that you should explore more and come back later), the puzzle genre and metroidvania might not mix that well... [*] on the other hand, if you breeze through easy puzzles to unlock the abilities first, revisiting lots of skipped puzzles later makes them became too trivial. for example, puzzles with holes that you need to fill with logwood in order to walk over, but a later ability just lets you jump over them . --- this is weird; it's unlike Metroid, where the "intended path" is crafted with the right difficulty, but players can sequence break by intentionally ignoring some abilities. to this end, i'd prefer Toki Tori 2 or Outer Wilds (or Tunic)-- where there's no abilities to "unlock," just "knowledge" to unlock --much much more. but hey, this game is still good! just don't expect it to be perfect.
