Steam review snapshots
The game is pretty confusing at times in a good way.Although the goal to solving each level is simple, moving the red cube to the red slots, red cubes can't move beyond…Paired with a subtle, ambient soundtrack, the overall atmosphere feels almost meditative, encouraging players to slow down and engage thoughtfully with each…What I don't like is the fact that you need a controller to play it properly and it is clunky without one.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual filtered by single-player.
