Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I didn't really enjoy this game. The only fun thing it tries to do is play with colors, but besides that, the puzzles are simply "stumble upon the right thing at the right time.".”
“Uninteresting, unimaginative, boring. The game is basically 30 minutes long (if you take your time). Should be the demo for the sequel but instead you pay for it.”
