    Had to completely start over when I accidentally skipped a level because I couldn't find a way to go back. Game is seriously lacking in direction and after stumbling around for 3 levels I gave up.

    Got this free with playstation plus and really didn't enjoy it. Nothing drew me in and the controls were really clunky.

    This game would not sell if it wasn't on playstation plus

    Road Not Taken: Game Not Enjoyed.

    Lately, PS+ seems to think there is a special kind of place for garbage, and that place where all waste seems to gather is PS4 "free" games library.

    Is it a puzzle game? A social adventure? an indie masterpiece? No, It's uninstalling from my system, that is what it is!

    This game feels like it would be a whole lot better if it weren't so damn hard. I don't feel the drive to further attempt to make my way through those insanely busy rooms. Almost every step becomes a chore.

    Mixing the puzzle and rouge-like genres is an interesting idea but the actual gameplay is simply too repetitive, and not really interesting enough, for me to want to replay each level (Year) more than once - and that kind of defeats the purpose of including the rouge-like elements at all.

    Spry Fox does a solid job in presenting a polished, attractive-looking package, even if the gameplay doesn't quite meet the same standard.

    An entertaining oddity that never panders, enriching through tasteful adult gags and a truly earned sense of progression. [Oct 2014, p.90]

    The cute stylings hide the deceptively difficult and overly complicated gameplay mechanics. [Nov 2014, p.76]
