Incredible game with so much hidden complexity behind a seemingly simple covering. Like a lot of "discovery / exploration" games there are rules and other things hidden that you won't understand until you get farther into the game. Try the demo or download the free PDF of the game if you want to try it out.
The negatives? A little heavy on "order of operations," but the hints help reduce that significantly. I love puzzle games that rely on clever "out of box thinking" instead of "do these in a certain order to win," which this has, but it also has the out of box stuff in spades. Sadly, the hints don't appear on overworld levels or daily levels (I guess for leaderboard reasons? But that's a bit silly since someone could cheat and redo them to get high scores anyway).
There are some discoveries and unlocks that require you to replay things and "hunt" for them, which is a little tiresome retreading ground (guides online can help you find them at least, but I wish they maybe gave more hints at where they were in-game). Plus, there's a lot of hidden levels that require some meta thinking to unlock, which are a bit obtuse. I also wish you could access settings without going back to the main menu and that they had a "Darker Mode" as the Dark Mode is still a tiny bit too bright for late, late night gaming.
But all things considered this is an incredible satisfying puzzle game with a lot to like! Highly, highly recommended for thinky puzzle game fans!
