As good level design as baba is you, but a good bit easier, which is nice because baba is too hard for me atleast. So hard its satisfying to solve the levels, but not so hard it becomes frustrating. Also very cool concept for a puzzle game, the solutions feel "cool" to think about

A very unique puzzle game where you push boxes around, but there are recursive boxes and puzzles, boxes inside of boxes. Nice and colorful. There are tutorial puzzles that teach the basic new mechanics and then normal levels, and optional challenge levels.

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Quality: ★★★★★★★★★★ It's funny how every YouTube playthrough of this game has episode breaks at the exact same points the whole way through. This is because the dev tries to reach into your brain and use it as a sockpuppet. None of the thoughts you are going to have in this game are going to be your own, all of them have been carefully planned out by the dev. Including puzzle solutions. Which means this is one of the easiest puzzle games I've ever played, despite the mechanics being so mind-bending. It's funny because the game is inspired by Recursed, which I'd describe as the exact opposite, where each solution feels like it's derived by you, and not the dev. That's great too, but the specific sequence of thoughts patrick has come up with and implanted directly into our brains is just beautiful. The mechanics are explored super deeply, and each puzzle explores a fun little trick (even though you may not be finding it yourself). Custom levels exist, and explore the mechanics even deeper, but none have the outright magical effect of the basegame, where it reads your mind by writing to it.
