I sorta found this game randomly in the switch eShop. I was drawn to the cute art style and the mention of puzzles. Unfortunately, although i thought i like puzzles, it turns out that I'm really bad at them. Some of the puzzles were pretty easy and some were pretty difficult. It's a mix of thinking puzzles and agility puzzles.

The story of the game is pretty much some bad guys showed up in town and trapped all of the towns people in a puzzle tower in town. As you complete a floor of the tower one or two villagers are released. As you go through the story, more and more villagers are rescued, which starts to populate the town. In order to move higher in the tower, you have to have a certain amount of friendship hearts. Friendship hearts are acquired by doing fetch quests for villagers. These quests range from flowers, fruit, pastries, wood and stuff. You unlocked different areas of the maps as you progress up the tower.

Overall, i liked the game but i def had to use some online guides just to get through some of the puzzles. I enjoyed the world and atmosphere, but i was a bit frustrated at some points. I feel like its a great game, but probably just not my strength.

Tip: I spent too much time totally broke. I did not realize that you can sell stuff. There's a guy in the shop, standing in the back, named California. Sell stuff to him for money. Once you get the golden pickaxe ax, he especially pays well for gems.

---The Good
Simple game play when completing quests
Beautiful art style
Extensive play options after the main story ends
Interesting story

---The Bad
Hard puzzles with no hints
No questing list, you have to remember who wants what.
Night time gets a little dark
