The verdict

A cozy, no-pressure keycap-sorting game with satisfying clicks and 32 keyboards, but fairly short with no power-ups. Skip it if generative AI art bothers you or you want skill trees.

Great for

Fans of calm, manual tidy-up and sorting games who like ASMR click sounds and no skill trees

Main risk

Generative AI art and near-identical keycap colors may frustrate, with no power-ups to help
