Modern smooth controls pair with an optional classic scheme, full controller support, unlimited undos, rewind points, and a hint system for tough spots.
Tackle 66 levels across 50 main stages and 16 unlockable bonuses, then build custom challenges with the level editor and share them on ModDB. Cross-platform cloud saving keeps progress synced on PC, Linux, or Steam Deck. Puzzle fans who relish methodical box-pushing and key hunts find a perfect retro-inspired workout here.
