Press X to Puzzle (Dreams) Review
Posted: 17 months ago, last updated 9 months ago.
Author: Andrea Walney, @GeekDadGamer and Jo Robertson.
Overview
The game starts off pretty straightforward, and you will progress quickly through the first few levels, but it gets a lot harder. For some screens you will need patience and in others frantic button pressing.
The result is an unusual, quick challenge with a quirky sense of humour. You are aiming to complete all 20 levels as quickly as possible, but some may have you scratching your head for quite a while. The last level is unlike the others, and is a mini adventure in a dungeon. So lots of variety to keep everyone interested.
