User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Love the simplistic art, the game makes me feel really dumb but that's what hard puzzles tend to do lol. I love how much the mechanics are played around with, and the way a few simple rules can create really interesting puzzles. It's a fascinating twist on the genre: half the puzzle is understanding the problem, then the last screen is typically solving a more difficult version. Very well made and I'm excited to spend more hours banging my head against a wall :3
So, I have not beaten the game. I'm currently on 3-?. I can tell this is going to be a game I need to take one or more breaks on to complete, but I will say, I have gotten way more than my money's worth out of it. I think Understand is definitely not for everyone but for the right kind of person, this is something truly special.
