This is one of those games that needs a middle ground between recommend and don't.

On one side, The overall game is fun. The level and art style is very nice and the levels flow well into eachother. The different gamemodes and styles of play keep it relatively fresh, even if they do sometimes overstay their welcome

However, it's very misleading to claim that all levels are "guaranteed solvable" When that simply isn't the case. In most cases this is caused by either bad reveals or getting stuck in thin areas (the staffs in the book are notorious for this, each one having at least 2 losses just because of a 50/50 guess). Additionally, i don't see the point of wait times for things like fishing or unlocking new characters in the book. Sure it's a 10 second wait, but why was it necessary?

My theory is this was originally supposed to be a mobile game, but late in development they decided it should be on PC.

Additionally, it feels lacking when compared to the first game on mobile. Where are features like the multiplayer? The coin shop during levels? The pets that would give boosts? The skins/themes that you could change freely based on which you liked? These are all things that differentiated it and made it much more fun to play and unlock.
