This hack is trying to be a Kaizo, puzzle and exploration hack at the same time and it's not executing any of those well. The puzzle is good but there is never a clear line where it's possible to go or not to go and considering the obscure tricks needed for this, most people even veteran won't be able to make it too far without guidance. If there wasn't somebody telling me where the next puzzle was, I would not have bothered with it. That combined with some dumb choices to sometimes make the puzzle tedious to execute, not because the trick is hard but because it was decided that it should be harder by adding a block or something. Happened many times where I figured out the puzzle but spend an hour just trying to execute it and saw multiple deliberate attempts at making the puzzle harder. Hack feels like it has bipolar disorder, where it will do things right most of the time and suddenly just throw a dumb curveball like you're playing a Mario maker level. Personally stopped at the escape on the final hurdle because what was required from me to do was just not worth it at that point just to see a credit roll. With that said, hoping for another hack without the bad dev decision and a more coherent package if it's focused on puzzles again. There is some potential here, just need to realize what's makes for a good experience and what doesn't
