From its opening moments, the game makes it clear that it is both whimsical and clever, with mechanics that are simple to grasp but layered in a way that steadily pushes your problem-solving skills to their limit.
Difficulty

36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are just the right difficulty and super satisfying to solve ( I only had to find solutions on youtube for a few of the secret room puzzles. ) The game took me 19 hours - a lot more play time than I was expecting, which is cool.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The simplistic graphics and soundtrack are nice, and I enjoyed changing into different silly character skins.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
i love how it has a cute story, interesting mechanics, fun and challenging puzzles, cute minigames, pretty pixel art, incredibly smooth animations, and the best part, perfectly smooth feeling controls, especially when using a controller. i truly believe the premise of the game was executed beautifully :3
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack adds to the atmosphere with upbeat tracks that match the quirky humor of the concept while still giving enough variety to avoid becoming repetitive.

Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a pick-up-and-play style, so if you have a Steam Deck this would be perfect.
