This game is a simple puzzle game and a good time-waster when you're bored. The gameplay is 2D but with (cheap) 3D graphics. There are a lot of ideas which are all over the place. And an absolutely massive number of levels. You either have to eat all apples, push boxes, blow up TNT to break walls, open doors with keys, push linked pyramids around, etc.
The biggest downside of this game is the lack of polish. No sounds, no music. The graphics are a mix of Minetest Game and programmer art. There are no animations for events e.g. TNT doesn't visually explode, it just disappears. Fire isn't animated, neither is water. When you shoot arrows, there's no shooting animation. And so on. Events (like level completion) are shown in the chat.
The levels are okayish. Most of the levels do a good job in introducing new puzzle elements, but there are 2 game elements which can be tricky. What's a bit annoying that a few levels are duplications. Those should be removed.
Let's say the levels are good enough I keep coming back to this game.
Controls are straight-forward: Movement keys to move, jump key to fire a ball (rarely used), sneak key to reset and Aux1 key to undo last move. Unfortunately, the undo only works for the last move. The level selection is less pleasant: You must punch literally blocks with the word "WORLD1" on them. You must manually select the next level after you completed one. This gets tedious.
The game is not well-programmed. It has a surprisingly high CPU use and a single move has a noticable lag/delay. (ca. 1/5 of a second, which adds up quickly).
Some puzzle elements like the blue arrow only exist in one direction.
Some puzzle elements are just outright annoying. There is a block that turns the light off, one activates a 30s timer
