The game is played on 2D signs that can be externally altered to change the play space. This is the main mechanic in puzzle-solving. As the game progresses, more mechanics are added both in and around the signs.

Development

Development took longer than expected. After being unready to release the game even after delaying the release date, the developers changed the listed release date to "When it's finished."

Reception

Metacritic rated this game 81/100, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
