I don't really get it. This game has very high acclaim from puzzle enthusiasts and puzzle designers alike, but I find the spiky difficulty curve and progression off-putting.

Sometimes when I solve a puzzle it feels like I do so by trial & error and I don't feel like I could do it again easily if I started from scratch.

Furthermore, many of the puzzles I initially have access to seem to vary in difficulty, and I find that the ones I unlock are actually easier.

I'll probably come back to it because I want to believe and I don't give up easily. If I change my mind I'll update the review.

Edit: I've played it a little more and it's growing on me. The game mechanics are very simple but they still allow for a lot of puzzle variation. I'm still not impressed with the difficulty progression. My tip for people who have yet to play it: as soon as a puzzle seems too difficult or frustrating, move on and try another. The difficulty of the available puzzles seems to vary a lot.
