kind of an annoying word in gaming as of late, but this game is incredibly cozy. the puzzles aren't very hard so you have some mental bandwidth to spare to take in the art and music, each spectacular in their own rights. 2011, so it feels a bit like a flash game, but one of the top tier ones you would just replay on a break or something just to experience it again. it also has the length of one, with the game probably taking two hours tops if you aren't trying to do slick tricks (there are a lot of spots to do them, I got a lot of fun out of probably unintended clear methods). i don't think it's worth $10, but checking steamDB the game has gone on sale to $0.99 during every major steam sale in the past year (i.e. once per season) so get it for that

It's been a while since I actually played through this, but I remember it fondly. It's not a groundbreaking game by any means, but it does what it does (Physics Puzzle Platforming as a marble) well and has a relaxing/melancholic atmosphere. Probably fantastic if you have a Deck and need something relaxing to play on your train home from work.
