It’s an enjoyable puzzle game. Think Portal-like environmental puzzles, but using coloured cubes with different effects.
Without having played the first one (which was, I believe, a student project and rougher around the edges), you lose some of the story background. But the game stands on its own merit and I would very likely have enjoyed it as much without knowing the original story.
All in all, I think it’s a very nice addition to GwG.
