For you if...

  • +you like physics puzzles that involve changing dimensions
  • +you enjoy platforming alongside puzzle solving
  • +you want a short single-player game with humor

Not for you if...

  • you prefer puzzle games with little platforming
  • you dislike challenges that require precise timing

What players say

85% of 2,154 reviews are positive

Players praise the dimension-switching puzzles and voice acting. The most common complaint is that later challenges rely more on precise jumping and timing than on finding puzzle solutions.
