What a gem! Easily recommended to any and all sokoban enjoyers. The puzzles manage to be multi-layered and compact at the same time, often making you reuse the same elements in a different way. The aesthetics are pleasant to look at, the soundtrack is highly enjoyable to listen to while your brain idles between ideas. The difficulty level is challenging without being overwhelming -- just right to give you that wonderful dopamine rush after solving a puzzle, and then offer you some more where that came from, which lasted me for just under 30 hours. And the game is still receiving content updates, too. (edit: the game has since gotten a content update, and some of the post-game puzzles are really tough!!! and i don't agree with a couple of the solutions) Having said that, I feel like fixing the bugs should take a higher priority over adding new content. The bugs aren't enough to prevent you from enjoying the game or anything like that, but there's still more of them than should be acceptable for a game that sells at this price point after having been kickstarted. There were a couple of crashes and freezes here and there, some places are accessible before they're meant to be, but, more importantly, the game logic isn't always consistent: in certain edge cases, you can do an action, undo, repeat the same action, and get a different outcome. But these edge cases never come into play in any of the actual solutions, so if you encounter one, maybe you can use that as a hint that you're on the wrong track! Also, key rebinding is currently missing too. Another potential concern is that you will have access to puzzles that you're not meant to be able to solve yet, and it's not always clear whether a particular puzzle is solvable at a particular point. I didn't mind this too much myself -- being able to figure out that a puzzle is impossible is a fun challenge in its own right -- but I can see other people being put off by this. Just don't go stubbornly trying to solve the same puzzle for too long, and you'll be fine. ːtobdogː

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.

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.
