Fantastic puzzler with mechanics borrowed mainly from Stephen's Sausage Roll and Snakebird. The level design is super-focused, with each puzzle offering something new and many secrets hidden in plain sight. Bonus points for the strange (slightly quirky) atmosphere and abundance of polish. I also liked that the end game wasn't simply harder puzzles but even more surprises, mechanics, and eureka moments. Definitely one of the best games I've played in the genre, alongside the aforementioned Stephen's Sausage Roll as well as The Witness and Baba Is You.
A must-play for fans of Sokoban puzzlers. Nearly every level will require you to use a new concept or mechanic that was hidden in plain sight all along, since the game uses very few different objects and simple rules. One of the most notable strengths of this game is the hint system, which simply presents a smaller and/or more restricted puzzle which uses the same concept as the larger level, but never tells you exactly what to do or how to complete anything. Only ding I'd give it is that the learning curve took me a minute to adjust to everything, but it's near perfect for its genre.
Still haven't finished the game.
Can of Wormholes is a puzzle game that rivals with Baba Is You, Stephen's Sausage Roll and Patrick's Parabox. The mechanics are simple, and learning them feels rewarding and mostly surprising.
You can go back to any level, replay it, and then completely break said level with your new knowledge. The puzzles are really hard but super fun to play through!
