« Oh you're here because you like puzzle games I heard. That means you've probably played (and loved) Stephen's Sausage Roll right? Good, good. Well, Can of Wormholes sits at the same table. No, I'm not exagerating: it is THAT good. »

« If you liked Stephen's Sausage role, this is a must play. It has much or the same design ethos, but in my opinion has more satisfying mechanic progression and meta puzzles, not to mention starts off more approachable. »

« Very smart puzzles, if you're a fan of the genre, you'll love it. The hint system is genius and every stage introduces new ideas. It's obvious a lot of work and love have been put into this game. »
