I did enjoy this game overall, but I can't decide if I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of content, or if I felt like it outstayed its welcome. I played it in short bursts because, although it's cute, it didn't always hold my interest for long periods of time.

There were a few occasions when I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing, but on the whole the puzzles were a nice mix of "easy" vs "fun to figure out".

The game mechanic of manipulating and moving map pieces to get around, or to make things happen, is simple enough - but it gets used in some more challenging and creative ways in later chapters.

The ending was quite heartwarming and I think that left me feeling more positive about the game as a whole than I sometimes did while playing it, but overall I would still recommend it.

YAYS:
- Cute and relaxing, nice art style and non-intrusive music
- Based around a simple concept but with some interesting uses
- Interesting characters and cultures, developed enough to have their own customs and lore
- Puppies

NAYS:
- Didn't hold my interest for long periods of time so it took me a while to finish it
- I felt like they could have done even more with the concept/mechanic (but on the other hand it did feel long enough)

A grand wee puzzle game with very cute vibes. Didn't hold my attention to the end sadly.

Another small indie puzzle game. Short and sweet.
The main mechanic consist of location and orientation puzzles. Not too hard, as long as you pay attention to visual cues and the hints given by their special cast of characters.
There are some hidden puzzles, subtle but fair.

Not my cup of tea.

+Adorable art style
+Soundtrack
-+ Difficulty ramped up like crazy towards the end

This is a beautiful game, I won't spoil it but you NEED to play this. The artstyle is awesome and the storyline is great. The puzzles can be deceptively simple and occasionally the game will throw a curveball mechanic at you to keep things interesting.
