Pros
- Enjoyed the challenge of the later rooms (27, 28, 29, 30).
- Found the 'bangers' in the last four rooms exciting.
Cons
- Initially found some rooms challenging and made mistakes.
- Boulders can be difficult and 'suck' at times.
- Accidentally locking up too many crates can make a puzzle unsolvable.
Thematic elements
- Chasing an arch-rival, Professor Montello
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Boulders — Immobile obstacles that function similarly to crates but cannot be pushed. If a boulder is on top of a movable block, the block can still be pushed from underneath.
- Climbing — The player character can climb onto blocks.
- Crates — Movable blocks that can be pushed.
- Gem collection — The objective in each room is to collect a gem.
- pushing blocks — Players push blocks in orthogonal lines as far as they want.
