The graphics are neat, the animations are tight, the overall oldschool feeling it has is amazing. Even the intro reminded me of the games I played when younger. It's also super fun, and the puzzles are tight.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only complaint is that, so far (I'm kind of stuck in a level), I have yet to see the themes applied. Besides &quot;The sun is growing&quot; and &quot;you use two buttons and the arrow keys&quot; there isn't much yet.
