A cute little tone-puzzle game. If you can't match tones, you might be a bit...sc*

Sadly, I did not enjoy this game as much as I wanted to. The puzzles were good (although not really music based) but I feel that they never managed to reach a high enough level of complexity that they could be, even in the side content.
Speaking of side content, scraping every wall to find the hidden collectibles soon became an annoying chore because of the movement speed, invisible walls and collision bugs that made me get stuck multiple times in different places. It happened so many times, I gave up on 100% and stopped looking for them.
I much preferred the collectibles that were clearly visible but required a puzzle to be solved, an alternate solution to be found, a hidden path to reach them, or to backtrack with new tools.
The story was fine, if a bit rushed. But the lore tabletsmade up for it in my oppinion.
Overall, the game wasn't bad, but I would only recommend it if you are starved for more new puzzle games.

I felt kinda mislead by the trailer for this one. While everything on the surface claims it's this big musical puzzle game the actual puzzles are purely mathematical in nature. The music is just a theme and all of the puzzles involve figuring out how many notes up or down from a given note you need to be. It actually allows you to just swap the letters for numbers.
They're going for a very cute and child friendly vibe in the story, the environment has a miniature diorama feel, and the puzzles themselves are fine if you enjoy the same logic repeated to exhaustion.
Might have been more fun if I went in with the right expectations but even then the repetition of the same puzzle with different iterations felt tired by the time I reached the end of the first area.
