(Played on Steam Deck OLED) A nice easy four hour game for the weekend. I'm a sucker for games that put me in familiar setting but as a small character. The puzzles are not too complicated and each area is pretty linear with zero to minimal exploring. The room design ranges from pleasing artstyle to sometimes what looks like untextured polygons.

Short adventure puzzle game with some replay ability. This is a good example of a game not overdoing things. There are three possible endings, with a secret ending, but you have a chapter selection. There are different mechanics and none are used too much or too little. Especially, the environments are made well to excuse the use of said mechanics. I never felt like I was playing some rube goldberg. The story is exact, no weird social commentary, purely contained withing the story the game environment portrays. It is just a good time. This is a perfectly cooked cheese burger of a game. 10/10 would eat for one meal again.

Solid, short 2.5D physics-based puzzle-platformer with a simple but reasonably compelling time-travel storyline, and level design that nicely conveys the theme of being a small robot in a human-sized house. Suffers from some poorly implemented controls for throwing objects (which a few puzzles revolve around), a few too many instances where it's not clear which objects can be interacted with or traversed over/under, and a climactic chase sequence that doesn't play to the game's strengths, but still worth trying if it's on sale.

Short but sweet.
Gameplay is basic, but it's an enjoyable, interactive short story.

Fascinating game! Excellent story, interesting puzzles and lots of fun :D
I suggest to play it on keyboard because with controller it will be hard later on (not the best experience).
But in overall I love this game! 10/10

A really solid and fun, bitesized physics-based puzzle platformer. 7.5/10
It has a really nice charm to it, but for some reason I can't quite place, feels a bit half-baked at times. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of the genre, you will likely find at least 2.5 hours of fun here. More if you're interested in replaying for other endings. Recommended for all fans of puzzle platformers.

fun and creative platformer. great achievement hunter game because a single playthrough is around 2-3 hours if you miss anything.
