I love this game. It's a hidden gem. Way cooler than 99% of puzzle platformers out there. Only complaint is movement is kinda jank.

Charming little game. Nice art style with fun puzzles that can get quite challenging but never too difficult.

Good game. Some very neat ideas and physics based puzzles. Let down in parts by a bit of pointless backtracking, a bunch of upgrades that don't really help much and a final puzzle that when you solve as the game seems to intend doesn't work. Still worth the money though and I hope to see more from these devs.

This is probably my favourite small indie game. The sprite-work and soundscape are appealing and great at keeping the player engaged. I found the narrative to be engaging and the short journal entries paced well enough that I was excited to read them every time they popped up. There have been next to no bugs throughout my three playthroughs so the game feels well crafted. The platforming does feel a little janky but not to the point where it ever seriously messed up my gameplay. Finally, the puzzles themselves are well crafted. I will say that some of the puzzles lack that Ah-ha! moment that I see mentioned elsewhere in the reviews, but I found the execution and the satisfaction of solving each puzzle was enjoyable in it's own right and made me enjoy nearly every puzzle in this game. I Highly recommend if you're into solving puzzle, steam-punk visuals and/or scientific inquiry.
