Is it still worth playing?

Princess Ida walks through impossible buildings seen from an isometric corner in this 2014 puzzle game for the iPhone and iPad, led by Ken Wong, built on the work of M. C. Escher and later released on Android. The buildings are the puzzles: turn a tower, slide a pillar, lift a bridge, and two paths that could never meet in space meet in perspective, so she can walk across the join. It has ten chapters and about ninety minutes of play, made to be finished rather than to be hard, with every frame meant to be worth hanging on a wall. Forgotten Shores added eight chapters. A path that exists only from where you are standing is still its trick today.
