Thank you to Lunarch Studios for the curator copy.
This is nonetheless an impartial review.

First things first: I almost never review a game before reaching 100%. But this time I simply couldn’t wait. I. Am. In. Love. After about 3h30 on stream, roughly 3½ zones explored and 10/57 achievements unlocked, I’ve already seen enough to shout about this beautiful puzzle gem. Consider this an early love letter (one that will absolutely be updated once I reach full completion).

The whole experience feels like wandering through a glowing gallery of puzzles. Between levels you explore gorgeous environments filled with little visual surprises, including hidden puzzles tucked away in clever spots. Even accessing those optional challenges is a puzzle itself, often involving camera angles and perspective tricks. It’s such a playful approach that discovering them becomes just as satisfying as solving them.

The atmosphere seals the deal. The music is calm, the ambiance is soothing, and the visuals sparkle with these lovely shimmers whenever you complete a puzzle. There are also tons of options to tailor the experience: fullscreen, sound sliders, resolution settings, and even the ability to choose the colors used in the puzzles without affecting the gameplay (and many more). It’s a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel welcoming and personal.

Puzzle design is where things really shine. Instructions start simple and gradually stack into more complex logic, creating a smooth learning curve. Each new mechanic is introduced in level 1 puzzles, so you can understand the idea before things ramp up again. From what I’ve seen, puzzles range from level 1 to 7 difficulty, and the progression feels fair and very satisfying to tackle.

You’re also free to approach puzzles in two different ways: coloring the glass directly or outlining borders so the sections fill automatically with beautiful colors. Both methods can even be used together. Add features like a note-taking tool, a bucket-fill option for sections, and constant rule reminders on the left side of the screen, and the game does a fantastic job explaining everything. If something is illegal on the board, the game tells you exactly why instantly.

Another big plus is the structure. Puzzles are grouped into stages with multiple options available at any time. If one challenge feels a bit spicy, you can skip it and return later with fresh eyes without any penalty. Achievements also appear clear and straightforward so far, which makes completionists breathe a little easier (even though there is a ton of them).

The only tiny thing I found myself wishing for concerns the stained glass windows that track progress between puzzles. They look great, but it would have been lovely if each zone displayed completely different motifs and especially if we could zoom in to admire them. A full gallery of those glowing windows would have been the cherry on top of an already magnificent puzzle experience.

Still, after just a few hours, this already feels like love at first sight. Beautiful visuals, relaxing ambiance, smart puzzle design: it’s everything I want from a logic game. And if you are still not convinced? Take a peak at my Twitch streams[www.twitch.tv] following the whole experience. Now excuse me while I go back to solving glowing glass riddles. 🤍

A genuinely relaxing game. I play with a couple of different play styles - bingeing the easiest 1-4* puzzles and bashing out lots of them, or jumping in and trying one or two really difficult puzzles. The wide variety as well as the combined rule sets make for a really deep pool of clearly hand crafted puzzles creating numerous "you got me" moments. Thoroughly enjoyable!

I don't write reviews often, especially for those game where I have not played much, but this game deserves a review.

The puzzles in this game can range from very easy, to oh sh*t and every one of the puzzles I have tried so far have been very enjoyable to figure out. The game features a "hint" type system in which it will let you know if what you have done is correct or not, then it also gives you an extra option if you would like to know where you went wrong (only showing 1 error at a time if you have multiple).

The Sound design of this game is equally as relaxing as the puzzles, keeping you entwined without it becoming annoying or having to mute the music.

Overall, very happy with my purchase and will continue to enjoy this game for many, many hours to come.
