Pros
Pro No in-app-purchases
Entire game is available for one up front purchase.
Pro Playable in portrait or landscape mode
Transitions smoothly between the two. It's helpful for navigating or backtracking across a level to orient the screen depending on your direction of travel.
Pro 16-bit graphics
Much nostalgia - but this also lowers the bar for required specs, meaning your old Galaxy S or whatever can run it.
Pro Interestingly uses mind bending architecture in the gameplay

Pro Excellent sound design
From its background music to its voice work, the sound design of The Room Two not only fits with the theme but adds to the player's immersion in the game and overall experience.
Pro Surreal graphics
The graphics of Back to Bed are very surreal, as if Dahli and Escher had teamed up to design a game.
Cons
Con Shop is difficult to navigate
When using the shop to purchase items, the windows overlap each other, which forces constant tapping back in forth from the players inventory to the shops. For characters that are highly dependent on the shop, this can become irritating fast.
Con Puzzles could be deeper
With such an amazing graphic design, the level of depth to the puzzles feels almost disappointing.
