It's like a mix of Lemmings and Captain Toad.
Now this is how you do a puzzle game.
I'm not a fan of puzzle games, but something this smart will grab me. I know I'm "only" giving it a 3/5 but that's because I'm generally not interested in puzzles. It's not how I prefer to engage with games. For someone who enjoys puzzles, I can totally see this being a 5/5.
It's very satisfying to pull off the tasks you are given. Running around is smooth, the control of the camera you have works very well, and there's quite a variety to the ways the game shows you its ideas. All wrapped up with a pleasant visual presentation. There are also a lot of tools that allow the game to pace itself well. Speeding up time, freezing it, retrying while keeping your inputs in position, etc. are all very welcome. It's the lack of those types of things that kill my enjoyment of other puzzle games very easily.
I did not finish this, but I'm stepping away. I believe I'm about 1/3 through. I might get back to it at some point, but it does take a lot of mental energy to get through a couple levels. Lots of brain power required here!
