Gameplay is characterized by a steep difficulty curve that often requires players to seek external solutions, leading to repetitive cycles of dying and retrying. While this can be frustrating, some players appreciate the challenge and find enjoyment in the process, especially complemented by the game's appealing art style.
“Although it gets quite hard and sometimes you have to fiddle around with things to work out what to do, the art style is really good and the gameplay is fun.”
“Running into the first obstacle and having to Google a solution after just 1 minute of gameplay is frustrating.”
“There is no gameplay in between.”
“Gameplay can basically be summed up as dying repeatedly until you figure out what you're supposed to do, and then dying repeatedly while trying to successfully execute the solution.”
