A straightforward little puzzle game. The premise revolves around the life of a cat parent and their cat child going through life and the former making lunch for the latter as they grow. The difficulty comes from the ingenuity of the puzzles, and the game has the excellent property that sometimes something would be seemingly impossible, but then the solution always made perfect simple sense when I did find it. Allowing for blocks to cover/remove other blocks was the most unique aspect and actually added a degree of depth, since removing and adding to the total possible in the container resulted in some interesting combinations alongside other movement options. Rotate, slide, pull out parts and replace them, cover options and any combination of the above to get the requested pattern on the right. Having to think about the blocks not just where they are but also how they could be removed or temporarily held out of the box was a neat difference to other block-moving puzzle games. The nice art, cute story and graphics, and interesting puzzle movement make this game one I could easily lose hours into, but unfortunately I have to leave it after it’s hour.
