Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
somewhat original idea, one can easily spend 8 hours or more going through it all. some clever and challenging puzzles, with the last few huge ones providing more tedium than anything, partly due to all the scrolling. the 5 eur price tag ain't bad these days (worse in 2017 when it came out), but plenty of flaws and shortcomings, and I haven't even mentioned game-breaking bugs on some levels, involving movable platforms also moving qbik, through walls and everything. pretty sure it's because of undo bugging out, at one point leaving reset as the only option (got left with an endlessly spinning hourglass cursor, couldn't move or undo), taking away a bunch of progress and turning a weak recommendation thanks to missing quality of life into a definite thumbs down.
