Great open-source puzzle-platformer game made with the Godot engine. I started playing it as a flatpak from FlatHub, and then came to Steam ready to pay for it. And then it's gratis on Steam. Well, I'd gladly pay to support the developers, this is a well made and polished game.
It's the kind of puzzle-platformer game that you have play over multiple days. There are dozens of levels, and sometimes you need a break, Coming back later, well rested and relaxed, can do wonders on your puzzle-solving abilities.

Thankfully the lack of guides or videos curbed my temptation to look up solutions. Every puzzle is unique, challenging, but doable. I felt very satisfied when I figured them out myself. My WASD keys are also destroyed.

Fun and twisty little game, and a decent brain-teaser as well. Do you know what Tensegrity is? You'll need to use it to beat the game...

The game design is creative, using gravity changes to progress through levels, and the dialogue is simple to understand. However, playing for a long time might cause dizziness. Some levels don't fully explain the block's respawn mechanism after falling into the void. Overall, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, and since it's free to play, it's worth trying.

This is my first experience with a puzzle platformer where both puzzle solving and speedy platforming play an equally important part. I like that.
Controls are ok (a little bit too sticky for my liking but still ok), par times are tight, level design is good, ambience is pleasant, game is free, game is fun. An easy recommendation.

decent, but hard, especially the second hub.
i do like the artstyle tho.
short but simple conclusion: this is a hidden gem.

Me, as a game dev, am kinda sad for the fact this game isn't popular, even with the lot of effort the creators put in, and unfortunately this is the reality of game dev. Really hope this game will be sucessful one day, With its unique puzzles, different strategies for every level, cute graphics... I wish the creators hope!
