Shamelessly stolen from GAF.

From the XBLA page:

From the team that re-imagined The Secret of Monkey Island™, comes Lucidity, an addictive puzzle platformer set in the surreal childlike dreamscapes of the little girl Sofi. In this challenging puzzler, keep Sofi safe as she drifts deeper into the strange new world of her dreams. Featuring stunning hand-illustrated visuals, a spellbinding original score and unique puzzle platformer gameplay, Lucidity challenges your wits, tests your reflexes, and mesmerizes your senses.

  • A surreal fantasy: Take a trip into the surreal childlike dreamscapes of Sofi, a little girl filled with a persistent desire to explore new worlds and overcome all obstacles in her way. As she drifts into a vivid dream world where, beckoned by the kind words of her grandmother, she learns to overcome her fears, test your skills in this addictive puzzle platformer where through quick reactions and placement of unique puzzle pieces, you must create a path to help Sofi traverse safely through 27 visually stunning, hand-illustrated dreamscapes.
  • Mesmerizing dreamscapes: Like a children's storybook come to life, get lost in mesmerizing dreamscapes detailed with beautiful hand-drawn contemporary art.
  • Addictive puzzle-platformer gameplay: Skillfully place unique puzzle pieces designed to propel Sofi to and from suspended platforms, or over and under obstacles, in an effort to maintain her state of perpetual motion.
  • Spellbinding original score: The game features a lush original score drawing you into Sofi's dream world.
  • Unlockable achievements: Collect fireflies on your adventures to unlock additional bonus levels and achievements to make it to the top of the leaderboards.

Gamespot preview.
If all you're trying to do is get the little girl to the end of the stage, it's not that hard, but if you're devoted to gathering all the fireflies, Lucidity can be quite challenging. The levels also get progressively more hazardous, so sometimes you don't even have the time or opportunity to look ahead because you're slapping down pieces as she's walking, jumping, or falling from the last ledge. The storybook visuals and soothing soundtrack stand out as you progress through the different stages of Sofi's subconscious. We really liked the artistic direction in the game where each area had its own color theme and made Lucidity look like an animated children's book. Soft-sounding instruments and the gentle plucking of strings accompany you as guide the adorable girl through the beautiful bug-infested dreamscape. It's hard to resist the game's charm, especially when you read the sweet messages left by Sofi's grandmother at the end of each stage.
