Puzzles are really inventive, requiring some lateral thinking (without being impossibly difficult), and never tedious. It's not just rehashing the same puzzle tricks over and over, like a lot of puzzle games do. There's lots of really satisfying epiphany moments. Painting mechanic is easy and intuitive, and works well with both mouse/keyboard, and analogue sticks on a game controller. One of the best games I've played, and definitely one of the best puzzle games. Highly recommend.

This is a very good puzzle platformer with quality content, more then enough puzzles and a good soundtrack. When I started playing this game I was bored, the puzzles were too easy and I wanted to stop playing it. I was 8 hrs into this game when I relized this game had potential and after finishing every single puzzle (only 5 % completed all the puzzles) I am happy to say that this game was worth my time and money. In this game you are free to go almost wherever you want so you can start any puzzle at any time except some locked doors and bosses. The main mechanic is a paint brush and you control it with your mouse, you will have to use it constantly because you will solve every puzzle using it. The harder levels are really what made me like this game so much, if you get to the levels where you have to use all mechanics learned through out the game you are in luck because they are some of the best created levels in a puzzle platformer I played in a long time. I am sure I solved some le...

Cool little game. Reminds me of a mix between Braid and Portal, but a lot more zen than either.
