There's so much to love about this game, but in particular I'd like to highlight the sense of progression/achievement you get from building out the painting, learning some fun dutch idioms, and the relaxing flow state vibe of the puzzles themselves (aided by the lovely soundtrack)
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Short, closed-ended, roughly consistent difficulty throughout, and easy to grasp the basics right away.

I swapped between a Windows PC, Linux PC, and Steam Deck with zero issues, and the replay at the end showing my total progress across all 3 devices was a really nice touch.
