This is a fun, colorful journey with Peppy a little bunny who enjoys munching on cabbages in a vibrant world. The graphics and animations are charming and the soundtrack will have you singing along.
Sure, the plot is non-existent but after all, a bunny eating cabbages isn't exactly groundbreaking!

I haven't completed it yet, but I think the game really delivers on what it promises. The description isn't kidding when they say it's challenging!
For me personally ,the game's simplicity & action gameplay makes getting stuck more frustrating than I anticipated. This style of puzzle game probably isn't for me. But all that changes is my approach towards it (I'll probably continue chipping away rather than playing it in big sessions). I still enjoy the game and I think anyone wanting an action-puzzler or enjoys challenging puzzles will as well.
The only real complaint I have about Peppy is how long it takes to go from a level to desktop. You have to click 4 or 5 buttons until the game closes. Unless you're beating the game over a weekend, it'll probably become a glaring issue for you. There really should be a "exit to desktop" option.

Eat the cabbage, avoid the foxes. This puzzle game tries to inject some excitement by having you play out the puzzles in real time, meaning the foxes move even if you don't. While this might work if the puzzles were relatively obvious, by the 2nd world they are definitely not. Thank goodness you can switch to turn-by-turn mode with no reflex demands. In that mode the game is relatively fun, with good graphics and interesting, highly varied levels. I did feel like the difficulty ramped up a bit too much by the 2nd world, but each world has a hint option and you can even skip some levels if you want, which resolves this.
While overall very solidly implemented, this game lacks any flash of novelty or other aspect that makes it stand out. But it's still above average and worth it on sale, I think.

UPDATE: Devs added new mode where time moves when you move, making the game way more accessible and I love this option and have been really enjoying the game now.
Definitely recommend this game and love that they took feedback into consideration. Really makes me look forward to what the devs might put out in the future. Review below:
It's a very cute puzzle game with great animations and cutscenes.
The puzzles themselves are fun to figure out and the game is really simple to play thanks to it's dedication to only using 4 buttons for movement (and a button to rewind time if you make a mistake.
Despite this simplicity, the game still remains challenging, maybe even too challenging thanks to moving in real time. Foxes can quickly come up on you before you have time to figure out your next move, and the pressure can make it easy to make a lot of mistakes.
Thankfully there is an option to have the game run slower, and even an option for time to only move while you're moving, which really helps if you want to focus more on the puzzles.
This newly added option to stop time has really made the game easier to get better at, as I find myself taking my time with levels and trying new things, and then playing in real time trying to get 3 stars.
