Pretends to be a first person puzzler, but isn't. Feels like they didn't know what they were making. Maybe they started off writing a good physics puzzler and management decided they want to make it more kid friendly. Either way it feels like they rushed it out the door, with repetitive levels that go over the same few mechanics, lots of reused inter-level section, and a terrible ending. All in all a fairly pointless slog.

For a cheapo 2D puzzler this is surprisingly polished. Nice art style, nice soundtrack. Like most cheapo 2D puzzlers it is quite grindy: 90+ levels in both easy and hard mode is perhaps a bit overkill. But it's cheap and pleasant so all good.

I know it's cheap, so I'm not expecting the world, but this just seems lacking.

• No sense of progression,
  
• No target move count to make it an actual challenge, instead you can just spam away being as inefficient as you like.
  
• Horrible control - If a piece only has one space to move into, I should be able to just click it, not have to click-drag everytime.

Hah just finished it. Very good. Very Stephen's-Sausage-Roll-esque, both in terms of gameplay and look and feel - which initially put me off as I didn't love SSR (seemed expensive, but maybe I didn't fully appreciate it at the time and should give it another go) - But with PPP, the price is excellent, it's much shorter, and I as I played I warmed to it more and more, really getting into the logic of pipe rolling. The ending was a lovely touch, had me chortling away to myself like a sleep-deprived mad man.

Shameless myst-em-up. Nothing ground-breaking, but enjoyable. For a solo developer, this guy has done a cracking job. Looks lovely, loads of detail. Movement not too bad (I find First person games in Unity never feel quite right, something laggy about turning). Puzzles generally pretty good, although there's a few things that could be made a little clearer, or steer you better.

Took me a while to really get into it, but once I was in, I was loving it. Some real headscratching puzzles. I'm tempted to say it's in my top 3 for first person puzzling, after Talos and the Witness.

It's certainly nothing amazing, but it's a pleasant way to kill an hour or two (I started using a guide fairly quickly so just an hour) and the price is right!

I loved Refunct, so this looked right up my street. Visually generally very pleasant, although sometimes the beacons can't be seen because they clash with the sky or the sun seems too bright. The main issue I've had is movement. As someone who enjoys a high mouse sensitivty in first person games, this just doesn't respond fast enough, and even bugs out if you keep trying to 180 rapidly (not that you need to!). But it's not a total showstopper. You learn to adapt to make it playable. And for the price I can't complain too much. Definite speedrunning potential with some speedrunner-friendly improvements (completion time/cube count shown at end of level, easy way to restart level etc)

Excellent job. Started slowly, but once it gets going I found myself loving it more and more. I think I preferred this to Portal 2 - puzzles were more interesting, and Virgil was much less irritating that Wheatley. Would've happily paid money for it.

Pleaseant environment, but hardly anything resembling gameplay.
