The verdict
A very short, ultra-cheap RPG Maker puzzle game with a few logic minigames and a goofy story. Skip it if you want real math, depth, polish or more than an hour of play.
Great for
Bargain hunters and logic-puzzle fans wanting a quick hour, or trading card collectors
Main risk
It's only about an hour long with a handful of repetitive puzzles, so it feels thin.
