The game is cute, it has a nice soundtrack, and the puzzles are decent, even if simple, at least in the beginning. Sadly, the implementation is lackluster: there is no mouse support except for the top level menus, no way to rebind controls and the gameplay feels clunky because of poorly aligned interaction triggers (You often can interact with puzzle elements only in a very narrow area or from a particular angle.) , …

Quby's magic wand paint brush will swish swoosh its way into your heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2gOhjwRn8 If you want to see gameplay and my first impressions as they happened, watch my video above. QV is a simple puzzle game that puts you into the many hairstyles of Quby, a carefree paintress ready to save the world. The soundtrack is the true star of the game, and QV as a whole is aimed at anyone who …

Very cute and lots of fun! Firstly, I want to state that I played this with a controller, and it was a lot easier than a keyboard, so keep that in mind before you buy. I really enjoyed playing this game, and even after I finished I felt like I'd happily play it all over again. Don't let the cute art style fool you, this game can be quite challenging to figure out at times, particularly on the harder levels. I …

Cute game on an amazing discount right now! ($2.99 at current sale price from $14.99) My only complaint about the game is that clearing a level on a hard difficulty doesn't clear it on easier difficulties automatically, Its levels actually do challenge me to think and experiment, despite the cute appearance the puzzles are quite puzzling!

Players who liked QV talk about cute and adorable art style and characters; those who didn't talk about poor keyboard controls and no rebinding. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is beautiful, cute and show potential to be great, but has one serious, huge flaw that makes it sorta unplayable... Horrible alignment/collision detection problems. This is a gamekiller on action, timed puzzles. Example: I have to get ink on a bucket - 2 swings in the air to "hit it" to get the ink. Ink stays on my brush 3 seconds. Have to move to a river to create a bridge - 2 swings in the air to "hit the right spot" of the water. Bridge also stays up only 3 seconds. THEN I have to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →QV is not a platformer in any sense of the word, contrary to the tags on Steam. Yes, there is a jump button, but it doesn't do anything. It's literally useless. And by "literally" I don't mean "figuratively", for a change. There is not a single instance of anything in the game that can be done by jumping while being impossible to do by simply walking. Jumping is only an animation. You can't jump on top of anything, you can't jump over a hole, you can't jump from one platform to another. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a great time with this one. It's really just a simple isometric puzzler with some portal gimmicks and a handful of moe characters, but it manages to stay interesting throughout. While some puzzles had me scratching my head as early as the first world, I was rarely frustrated, and when I was I'd say it was more the fault of the checkpoint system than the level design. Although I'll go into more detail about that later. While it is tagged as one, I'd argue QV isn't really a platformer. It…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just beat QV in both normal and hard mode and here's my thoughts. QV is a really cool puzzle game with cute graphics and fun puzzle pieces. The game overall is fun, relaxing, and quite lengthy (I played through both normal and hard mode in my first playthrough). Throughout the game, you are given levels that introduce a new puzzle piece, the next level would test your understanding of the new puzzle piece, and another one that will challenge you (one puzzle piece I really liked were the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely pick this game up! Most games in this genre don't offer a polished experience like this one does. You have cosmetics to work towards and puzzles that steadily increase in difficulty the farther you get in the story.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →QV is best described as a slice of life puzzle game with a hint of Portal. Charming atmosphere, beautiful soundtrack and characters with cute banter for added spice. It also has character customization so the player can change the look of Quby between levels which is overall just a nice bonus. First thing that needs to be said, a controller is required to play this game. Keyboard controls feel clunky and can be an annoyance in some of the harder levels that require precise timing and speed.…

neutral · AI labelView post →So so so cute, quby is so adorable love her 100% took a bit, but it wasnt too bad if you plan on trying. A couple issues, mainly inputs sometimes not working when you approach an item and the translations arent great. Also some clipping especially when running, I messed up the last level cause of clipping and was devastated. The plot isnt anything crazy, so dont worry about the translations being poor. The puzzles were so much fun running through them all, not too hard not too easy (i played…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute and fun 3d puzzle platformer. Your goal in each stage is to hit the switch that opens the exit gate and get to it. The puzzle mechanics you have to play with are: -block pushing -opening portals between doors -running through worm holes -creating temporary paths with ink onto water/lava -stepping onto switches, conveyor belts, moving platforms -using golems to maneuver around -dodging crazy penguins -probably a few more There are checkpoints you can manually hit and you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →QV required me to use my brain. Sometimes it required me to use a lot of my brain. Some puzzles required multiple attempts to figure out the proper cascading order of actions. This type of challenge made my brain happy. The game also plays very nicely with a controller and has an excellent soundtrack, too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the art & the character design, but it's just a very basic puzzle game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The levels are fun and challenging, but not infuriatingly hard, but there are some levels that have such brutal margin for error it takes a hot minute to clear, and moving diagonally takes a bit to get used to. All in all: Adorable game! Fun puzzles, cute and charming artstyle and interesting mechanics that need getting used to. I love this hidden gem of a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good puzzle game, so I'll just list the pros - Great soundtrack - Great difficulty handling (each level is basically a different level on various difficulty settings, but within the same concept) - Last world on QV is quite a head scratcher but still fair - Enough mechanics introduced over the course of the game to make each world fresh - OG sokoban gameplay (kinda) - Unlockable cat ears for Quby 9/10 because will hate penguins after this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →...................cute
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game to chill with interesting artstyle. Devs please gimme more QV!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little puzzle game, the difficulty curve is pretty good. Biggest gripe with the game is having to mash through opening dialog on hitting retry in a level, this also resets the timer for the time in a level achievement, this is especially tiresome on the QV difficulty. My final time with this game was spent farming a few dozen penguin hits for the last achievement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a cheap puzzler reminiscent of the 2d pokemon dungeon puzzles, very cute and fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A puzzle platformer with a few sokoban elements. A cute artstyle, a cheesy story and challenging stages. Worth.every.single.second.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and cute puzzle game with relaxing soundtracks. would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good brain exercise
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun puzzle game with a cute art style and relaxing BGM. The mechanics are quite simple and straightforward, and the puzzles can be quite challenging in the later levels. However, it needs a couple of QoL changes for keyboard users, and maybe the option to be able to play in borderless windowed mode would be much appreciated. Strongly recommend playing this game with a controller.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ cute sounds + relaxing game + easy to middle difficult puzzles (i do QV mode (kinda nightmare) another time) + cool stacking mechanics + good tutorial and very responding controls + cute chars + many customes + indeepth lovely designed game + real gem (for an ex-smartphone game) + 4 difficulty settings + H**** A***** Penguins!!!! + many solutions for puzzles + engaging gameplay + very epic story (well more than a certain game at least) + very cute bg and visuals + cute gameplay + very chibi…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a hidden gem, a wonderfully designed puzzle game. The mechanics are familiar -- sokoban, portals, switches -- but they're creatively utilized and combined and the difficulty is balanced perfectly. In many of the stages, you control two characters who need to cooperate to solve the puzzles, which results in some very clever scenarios. I was frequently challenged but never frustrated while playing through the game on normal difficulty. The best part is that the game never explicitly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute Funny Brain usage (minimal but still...) Graphics are decent Music is very chill Platforming can be kind of annoying, you gotta get used to the timing. (Pro tip, the bun hairstyle makes it easier to see the character making it easier to time jumps and runs off of moving platforms so put it on after you unlock it if you're having trouble with the platforming.) A decent game to play when you want to chill and enjoy some puzzle solving and the funny antics of a cute anime girl.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little puzzle game, music great and graphic great for this price as well. Plus, Quby cute! I purchased this second time, first got it from switch system. Never try play it with keyboard before, as because I played it with controller, so the control scheme is same as what switch version does.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game with simple, but not so boring puzzles. Quite good for relaxing. If that's everything you need, go for it. If not, then do not.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice, simply puzzle game. I'm not sure why you have to beat each level on Normal before you can play on Easy but you only need to do Easy if you want completion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is way too simple and slow to stick with for any amount of time. Seemingly made for young ages, but I don't think young people would stick with this game either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →QV is a series of short puzzles with cute artwork. Most of the puzzles can be done in under 5 minutes. It is really boring and easy for the 1st 3 stages, but it gets better in the 4th stage onward and when QV mode is unlocked. If you can't start a new game, make sure you have cloud save enable in Steam. Steam achievements are bugged as well. I got the achievement in game but not on steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzle game with a cute artstyle! The later levels are challenging at took me some time to solve it. It's satisfying to clear QV mode (Very Hard) mode too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes. A brain cell killer thats bery fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game keeping you into it by adding new mechanics over time. Bit confused why easy is locked tbh, with there being no achievements on them I don't see the point. I had a few issues with invisible 'event' tiles causing multiple resets, making them visible would be nice. Overall I rate this 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzles, beautiful, cute, funny, and on top of that fluid controls. Very recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very interesting with the design level of each place that seems different from other places. The art offered fits perfectly with the genre and also gives a deeper impression of playing. The story offered is also quite interesting which makes us want to immediately complete a fun puzzle and find out the next story. Very good character design and also the main character is well described by the developer. The NPCs given are also well-made, not made carelessly and give a good…
