Steam review snapshots
It's about killing time in the most hilarious ways conceivable.There are 100 replayable levels, each of these is a situation in life where we have to wait, starting from childhood, youth…I do hope that, over time, the interface with the controller becomes a bit more user-friendly, as I genuinely feel I’ve missed…Has a ton of levels (100 I think?) each with secret goals/puzzles to discover which alone was pretty surprising.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
