The Developer Says...

Experience a relaxing atmosphere from the comfort of your cozy room by solving small 3D puzzles inside collectible gachapons, and find the original shape of things inspired by Rubik’s style.

Players Like...

❤ Puzzle Manipulation

Players manipulate individual puzzle pieces by rotating, panning, and scaling them using the mouse controls in order to recreate the original shape of various 3D objects. The puzzles appear in different combinations across 30 unique worlds, each containing 10 objects to solve.

❤ Puzzle Difficulty

While the puzzles generally do not overwhelm players with difficulty, many reviewers note they require a good degree of precision and patience to complete perfectly. The game allows players to reset puzzles as needed until finding the right solution, gradually increasing the complexity as players progress, but maintaining an accessible experience for various skill levels.

❤ Relaxing Atmosphere

A major draw of the gameplay is the soothing, relaxing atmosphere. Players can adjust the in-game weather and time of day, while calming background music and pleasing sound effects create a cozy, meditative experience. Reviewers highlight how the game is perfect for unwinding, playing during a podcast, or taking short breaks from more intensive gaming.

❤ Gachapon Unlocking

An interesting mechanic is the way new puzzle worlds unlock. Players earn in-game currency by completing puzzles, which they can then spend on a gachapon (capsule toy) machine to randomly reveal the next world to explore. This creates a sense of discovery and surprise as players gradually uncover the full selection of thematic environments.

❤ Developer Support

Reviewers also note the developers have been very responsive to player feedback, addressing control issues and other minor complaints through patches and updates. This post-launch support demonstrates the team's commitment to continuously improving the player experience.
