Great game: simple, complex, fun, and relaxing all at once.

First of all, the little guy who builds the snowman is adorable! I just completed the fifth and final level. I didn’t even realize there were more “achievements” besides building all of the snowmen when I played this last year. I enjoyed the problem-solving brainwork involved with the initial level. Then to start again to build without leaving the “room”… Uff, I could almost hear the gears grinding. But then… to build the snowmen for the “dreamt” achievement… now THAT was a huge challenge. This has been a great five days of fun.

Love it

If it were cheaper OR had more levels, I would have given 5 stars. Great little game to keep your mind working.

Charming

The puzzles get more complicated as you play. The kind of game I enjoy where planning ahead pays off. Simple graphics with lovely thinking behind the design. Fun

Loved it!

Very challenging puzzle game. Can be very frustrating at times when stumped, and then very rewarding when you figure out the right combination to build the snowman. Great visuals.
