I did not however finish the game. I was (unfairly) expecting the game to ramp up in difficulty or puzzle complexity, but realized it was unreasonable of me to expect that. The early puzzles were clearly for a very young audience. And if the game had tougher platforming or puzzles later, it wouldn't have served that audience well. Clearly the developers had a target demographic in mind, and the game serves that demographic very well.
And so, eventually I left the game unfinished. If you are looking for a cozy game that is visually appealing and want a palate cleanser between games, this will serve you well.
My only minor gripe is that the game was not advertised as being for that young an audience (I.e. even younger than 10 yr olds). Of course, it's not a major issue since I didn't actually pay any money to buy the game (not counting the PS+ subscription). But thinking back I was looking forward to the game from one of the pre-launch trailers. From those trailers, it came across as a regular casual platformer/puzzler. I think marketing it as a young-kid game or a 'cozy game' for adults would have been a bit more appropriate.
