“Good puzzle game, the difficulty level is just right, it's easy to learn, and the backgrounds are nice. The final level is a great idea but unfortunately poorly executed. Too short and too expensive.”
“Wonderful puzzle game with a unique and stylish presentation. It's not too difficult, but it is quite short. So perhaps buy on sale. 9/10”

“A little gem. Hard and challenging, but never frustrating. Game design is brilliant and the music is very nice. Thumbs up for the devs!”
“Really fun, unique, platform puzzle game! Not to hard, but some of them were head scratchers. The game also has a really nice atmosphere to it, with solid music!”

“The visuals, animations, and the way the 2D gameplay connects with a detailed 3D world are the biggest strengths here. The puzzles are smart and well-designed, with some creative mechanics and even a bit of fourth wall…”

“100% The Pedestrian on 12/25/2023. Quite a fun puzzle game though way too short for the normal $20 price tag. Definitely get on sale. The last puzzle is such an amazing concept, it is a real shame there was only 1 level…”
