The verdict
A short, pretty colour-switching puzzle platformer with a clever mechanic and lovely music, but puzzles are easy and repetitive. Skip it if you hate box-pushing, backtracking or timing-based platforming.
Great for
Relaxed players wanting a short, atmospheric puzzle platformer with a unique mechanic, ideally on sale
Main risk
Puzzles turn into repetitive box-pushing and punishing platforming; 100% means tedious backtracking.

Beautiful art and atmospheric music
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“The artstyle is simply genious - it has a lot of cool details to look at yet it's very clear, and the main focus is on colour.”
