“Fun puzzle game. Somewhat relaxing. I like that there is no timer. If you like Hexcells like I do, you will like this game. Hexcells is the GOAT, and this is just good. Worth it in my opinion if on sale.”

“Great puzzle game for chilling and stuff, nice satisfying sounds + love the design and smooth panning but im just an animation and motion design nerd. Not stressful at all as it doesn't track time or number of moves, no pressure on you to act smarter than you actually are”
