Steam reviews

What players say

Reviewers from the last year split: many find it a relaxing, free yarn-looping puzzle, but many others say the controls, undo behaviour and DLC-locked achievements spoil it.

Many players enjoy the calm, meditative loop of winding virtual wool between pins until a picture appears, and several like playing it with music, a podcast or while winding down before bed. The large free set of levels is widely praised, and a few say it works well on a Steam Deck. Many complaints centre on the controls: the cursor lags or drifts on large maps, and a wrong pin can trigger an undo that rolls the string back many steps, which some find infuriating. Some players report wrist or hand strain after longer sessions, and some say the difficulty spikes in the later pixel levels. Many critics also object to the steady stream of paid DLC needed for all achievements. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall totals suggest, and several of them name the undo and cursor problems as reasons to uninstall.

Who it suits

Suits players who want a calm, low-stress puzzle to play in the background or to wind down, and who do not mind the free content being enough.

Who should skip it

Should be skipped by players who are bothered by undo and cursor issues, long sessions that strain the hands, or paid DLC needed for all achievements.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed, citing controls and hand strain, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend the game for its relaxing free content.
