One of the all-time great puzzle games

I remember first playing the original when it came out in 2008. What starts as a simple platformer turns into one the most creative puzzle games of all time. The time rewind mechanics shift across worlds creating challenging puzzles the feel magical when you finally crack the solution. The re-done graphics look incredible and the controls on a phone are surprisingly responsive and usable. Takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few levels it’s second nature. Thanks again for a masterpiece, Jon!
