Spear shall be shaken, skull shall be splintered, a blocked way, a bad way, ere the spike rises! Stab now, stab now, stab! Stab for escape and the room's ending! Cramped! Room of! Death!

A simple but nice little grid based puzzle game.
A lot of the puzzle feel like you're just going through the motion rather than thinking through a puzzle. It can have a relaxing aspect, but don't expect anything too challenging for the most part.
Given the setting a the game, it's a shame there are no special "boss" levels that change up how you interact with enemies. The final level doesn't look any different to the rest of the game.
Weird design choice: some levels branch out, with multiple exits allowing you to access different levels. But the solution doesn't change for each exit, you just need to solve the same level multiple times, entering a different door at the end.
On a related note, games like this really need to allow you to undo after you die, trying things out can quickly end up in needing you to redo the entire level.
