Not bad as a puzzle game. The translation is a bit lacking but it doesn't really matter, you figure it out by just trying and seeing what happens.
I'd have rated it higher, especially for something just to relax, except it isn't relaxing after the first few stages. The game constantly pauses between moves when the character is doing actions, often with annoyingly long delays when you're trying to place a piece and you can't even pick it up and position it, while it just sits there in a post-action delay and absolutely nothing is happening. The character isn't acting, your controls are disabled, you can't even go into the options menu, it just hangs with the hourglass cursor for a second. Repeatedly.
It really breaks up the flow of the game, and many actions don't need to disable player controls, like she's just healing or doing some buff to attack, but no, you have to just stop, pause, sit, wait. Can I go yet? Can I go yet? No. Spell finished, it's your turn right? No, let's just wait and pause and do nothing for a little longer, even though no numbers are changing and no special effects are happening.
They could just let the player's controls work while the effects are happening, but instead they disable them, AND add a delay where nothing is happening and you can't move, like half a second to a second, maybe 2, but it just keeps happening repeatedly until you get frustrated and impatient enough to try to exit to the game AND YOU GOTTA WAIT FOR THIS AND THAT AND THIS and you just alt + F4 instead - and then it still waits a bit because it was on a loading screen, so it finishes that before you can actually quit.
So it could have been a relaxing puzzle game, but it's infuriating if you don't like controls 'randomly' disabled in the middle of trying to place pieces. Also it just gets too hard in some later stages even with the upgrade points available without going back and farming. If you're really patient and good enough at puzzle games (or extra patient enough to slowly get there losing over and over while it puts frustrating delays between moves), then you might like the game more.
