Looks pretty good, I don't have enough revenue to buy it but I hope it does well, looks well built and on Steam too.
I bought this game on steam when it first came out.
A very cool game about using animated puzzle pieces to connect two points. The graphics are fantastic and the concept is really unique. If you like puzzle games this one is for you.
This game looks really impresive! I'm gonna buy it right now!
I really liked the game. Thought it was a bit challenging, but I love a good challenge. This is without doubt a great game to play, if you are into puzzlers.
WOW ME NEVER GO PLAY ITS GAME
