This game is easily one of the most lovely, charming and brilliant puzzle experiences I've ever played. As always, Amanita comes back with beautiful art and coupled with the superb music, some brilliant puzzle design and one of the cutest stories in video games, this game is simply the whole package. None of the puzzles are particularly "hard" and you could solve any of them simply with some thought but they definitely make you think at times. The mechanics are extremely inventive, asking you to play with lights and enemies that are in themselves pieces to the solution. I don't want to say more because finding out the mechanics is a joy in itself. The music adds so much to this and is as much a part of the brilliance of the puzzle design as everything else. As you unlock and move through the puzzle, the music steadily increases in complexity, adding drums, flutes and other instruments, cleverly leading you along and letting you know you're doing the right thing. This seems like such a minor detail but adds so much to the exhilarating feeling of solving them. Scattered throughout the levels are small paintings and toys, some of them obvious to find, some hidden and each is an adorable and zany vignette that is such a pleasure to experience

I could easily recommend this game to people of all ages and this is definitely one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had
