This game takes puzzle solving to a whole new level. It makes your brain work in ways you´re not used to. World 4, for example, is an interesting twist on regular puzzle solving patterns. It always bring me a smile when I think about it.
But the biggest puzzle for me (and the only I didn´t quite figure out, i guess) is the story. I got the impression the princess was a metaphor to something else, but i´m not good enough at that stuff.
I felt the game was a bit short. I was expecting a couple more stages, but that´s not enough to bring disappointment, considering the quality of the puzzles presented. Depending on your puzzle solving skill, might be enough to keep you entertained for a good time.
All in all, a great game, and one of the best choices on PSN. That one and Trine are my favorites so far.
