❤ Gameplay Overview

The objective is to arrange colored blocks on a grid so that all blocks of the same color connect. Players accomplish this by sliding and maneuvering the various blocks around the playing field. The game introduces new block types over the course of its 160 main levels, each adding additional complexity to the puzzles.

❤ Puzzle Variety and Difficulty Curve

The game starts with relatively simple puzzles, allowing players to get accustomed to the basic mechanics. As players progress, the developers gradually introduce new block types, such as sticky blocks that cling to others, sleeping blocks that cannot move until awakened, and caterpillar blocks linked together. This steady introduction of new elements prevents the gameplay from feeling repetitive while also gradually increasing the difficulty in a natural way. Many reviewers praise the well-designed difficulty curve, noting that puzzles ramp up in complexity at an appropriate pace.

❤ Optional Challenges

In addition to the main objective of connecting same-colored blocks, each puzzle has optional "illumination" challenges where players must position the blocks to cover specific symbols on the grid. These optional challenges provide an extra layer of difficulty for players seeking a greater challenge. Reviewers note that while the basic puzzle solutions can be tricky, the illumination objectives often require significantly more thought and experimentation to accomplish.

❤ Progression and Accessibility

The game includes a helpful progression system that allows players to skip puzzles they are stuck on. Each level contains a hidden "moon pearl" that, when found, unlocks the next puzzle. This prevents players from getting completely blocked and ensures they can continue making progress, even if they are unable to solve a particular challenge. Reviewers appreciate this design choice, as it keeps the experience engaging and prevents frustration.
