GameSpot said it was a "quiet puzzler," and liked it. It got 7 out of 10 from GameSpot, which really praised the hand-painted backdrops and interactivity. The review did criticize that there were not many challenging puzzles, and that some neat characters were removed from the game too quickly.[12] Kotaku also thought it was pretty and had nice characters. It also thought the puzzles were more streamlined and intuitive than the one before.[13]
