“An Actually Really Nice Sokoban Game With Great Puzzle Design”

“Really neat puzzle game with a unique core mechanic and evolutions upon that mechanic already being shown in an under-hour experience. I'm excited for the upcoming longer game and what they plan to do to expand on this concept as it is truly inspired and brilliant.”
