Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It is also a massive bargain at £2.79 (I paid £1.39 in the Steam 2017 Winter sale) as it has provided me with over 20 hours of absorbing and challenging gameplay for that low price.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
There is also the added award of an achievement for completing each level with an "S Rank" which means doing it below a certain number of moves, and also lighting some optional lanterns along the way, which really ups the difficulty, but also gives a great sense of satisfaction when you finally figure it out.
