This is an extremely bare-bones, old-fashioned puzzle game that just doesn't hold up in the current year.
The complexity is literally that off one of the first consoles, like the Atari 2600. It's a completely plain and unembellished puzzle game with only Left, Right, Up, Down movement with only 44 levels.
Your objective is to make every tile green. Moving to a red tile makes it green and moving to a green tile makes it red.
You have a set amount of moves each level, making 1 incorrect move fails the level as you must use up all your moves correctly down to 0 to complete a level.
The game is not a scam, it's just that this really isn't enough, it became incredibly boring after the first 10 levels because as I said it is a game with the same complexity as a game from the 80s and every level is essentially identical aside from the solution itself.
I actively disliked 2 things about the game:
The randomly placed in mirrored levels where the controls are reversed, using W or Up Arrow makes you go down, A or Left Arrow makes you go right, etc. It's just pointless and extremely tedious, it doesn't add anything other than annoyance.
And: there is no undo button.
It also has a system where you can make your own levels, play randomly generated levels, and also a memory game. The memory game is literally just that. It flashes Up/Down/Left/Right arrows then once its done you must repeat it on your keyboard. Again it works, I just don't really get why?. This is not new or innovative or anything. It's so extremely rudimentary.
It is a bare-bones, old-fashioned, completely plain and basic rudimentary puzzle game that you might think is a re-make and re-launch of some 2nd generation console game from 80s.
Again, it's not a scam, I experienced 0 bugs and I completed every level, it is exactly what it says it is and it works just fine, it's just that unfortunately that isn't enough because it is so very extremely down-to-basics gameplay, and relatively easy and short.
A child might enjoy it, that's actually the only situation I can see this game being worth a little bit, as a brain-exercise for a young child.
Other than that if you're in need of achievements with letters or numbers on them for a showcase that's the other thing that might make the game worthwhile.
All the achievements are all of the upper and lower case letters in the English alphabet, all numbers and some symbols including a few uncommon symbols. It is of course extremely obvious why this is: it's an attempt by the developer to boost sales and hopefully push the game algorithmically.
Aside from the achievements it looks like an honest game that has been made perfectly, again 0 bugs, it is exactly what it says it is, it's not a fake game or some scam or anything.
And yes, I do view what the developer has done with the achievements as a dishonest, cheap attempt at trying something.

After writing the review: This probably wont affect anyone but I just discovered a bug after thinking a hint was wrong to a level:
Setting the game higher than 60 FPS will eventually bug out your movement on some levels making the answer to some of the levels different than what they are supposed to be.
This is obviously just a bug that I'd expect the dev to fix(by simply locking the game to 60 FPS) after I just had a short exchange with them on the Solutions guide about it.
And this is of course not involved in the negative review rating.
