❤ Outsmarting the Bunnies' Pathfinding

The core mechanic in this game tasks players with capturing bunnies by manipulating their predictable pathfinding behaviors. Bunnies always flee in the opposite direction from the player, prioritizing left movements, and avoiding dead ends. Players must strategically position the bunnies and use tools like carrots, pickaxes, and traps to lure them into checkmate. As the game progresses, it introduces new mechanics that force players to constantly expand their understanding and approach to solving the puzzles.

❤ Layered Puzzle Depth and Progression

What begins as a straightforward "catch the bunnies" premise quickly evolves into an interconnected web of puzzles. The game recontextualizes its core mechanics, revealing new depths and surprising solutions level after level. Puzzles may span multiple rooms, or incorporate hidden mechanics that dramatically alter the bunnies' behavior. Players can freely explore the Bunburrows, tackling puzzles in any order and applying lessons learned in one area to other parts of the game world. This encourages experimentation and the discovery of unintended solutions, as the game seamlessly weaves meta-puzzles and secrets into the core gameplay.

❤ Sense of Mastery Through Difficulty

The difficulty curve ramps up steadily, starting with approachable introductory levels before challenging players to think several steps ahead. Reviewers describe moments of epiphany and a profound sense of mastery when solving the most devious puzzles. The ability to revisit earlier levels with new tools and insights allows players to apply their evolving skillset and find creative solutions. While undoubtedly challenging, especially in the later stages, the puzzles never feel unfair or arbitrary, rewarding logical thinking and experimentation.

❤ Charming Presentation Complements the Gameplay

The game's 16-bit aesthetic and catchy chiptune soundtrack create a lighthearted, whimsical atmosphere that offsets the brain-teasing difficulties. The protagonist, Pâquerette, is described as a delightfully bunny-obsessed character, while supporting cast members like the snarky Ophéline add to the game's quirky charm. The clever, pun-filled dialogue and achievement names further endear the game to fans of the puzzle genre.
