Back to Bed is a perfect example of a well-done, small-scale indie game:

• The asthetic is consistent, original and interesting.
  
• It's long enough to feel worth the money (especially on sale) but doesn't overstay its welcome.
  
• It offers post-game challenges that require focus without being punishing.

The M.C. Escher-esque dreamscape is quite visually appealing, and the wonky geometry features rarely enough that it doesn't lose its novelty.

Some levels require fairly fast and precise movements, which may frustrate players unfamiliar with videogames, and the control scheme is built with a controller in mind, which may irritate some KB+M players. Aside from those caveats, though, this game is nearly flawless.

Recommended.
