Is it still worth playing?

Ustwo Games' 2017 isometric puzzle game for iOS and Android, played alone. Ro and her child move through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects, tapping to move a character or change the level's architecture, with sliders and cranks that reshape the environment to open routes. Each level is a set of single screen puzzles, with only a handful of touch mechanics, and each level adds its own twist. The child first follows Ro as a simple AI, later is directly controlled, and they split up to play levels separately before rejoining in the final levels. Single screen perspective puzzles with simple touch controls, and a new idea in every level instead of a reused one, still keep each screen worth solving today.
