five stars because it combines my love of puzzles and M.C. Escher

This last level, or I think it's the last level, is difficult. I won't give up though.

My wife even commented the music sounds dream land ish. Then I got thinking about how in dream you don't hear music, but through media we have an idea of what dream land music sounds like. That was a tangent but anyway, I feel like I'm almost done with this game.

This is a puzzle game based on the famous M.C. Escher artworks. Was expecting it to just be a gimmick for the game's general appearance, but they actually worked with the "mathematically implausible physical spaces" concept and delivered. You rotate the artwork world your character is in, changing your perspective a bit, making ceilings become floors and ramps that look cut off before suddenly become reachable, things like that. It's really clever stuff. Definitely had to look up how to solve some of the levels. There are not too many levels though, so do try your best to work them out on your own.

Free on PS+. Relaxing puzzler, black and white, artsy, enjoyable.

Borrows a few things from Braid (rewind time) but also quite original.

I recommend it so far. Cross platform too!

I did not enjoy the first four chapters enough to do them again but now backwards and with more death balls.
