The game's story revolves around themes of perseverance and hope, as players navigate a crumbling world while attempting to revive almightree saplings. While some players appreciate the engaging premise and colorful presentation, many feel the narrative lacks depth and continuity, with a desire for more substantial storytelling throughout the levels. Overall, the story is seen as a mixed aspect, with some enjoying its emotional undertones while others find it insufficient for a more immersive experience.
“The world is falling apart, crumbling as the story would say, and you are trying to stop this by bringing almightree saplings to life.”
“Its a sad story of a lone walker full with a great heart and the search for hope.”
“The music is particularly good and the graphics are colorful, along with a story and full voice-acting to make it more than just a points-based game.”
“It's a story that never really goes particularly far.”
“Granted the story doesn't really make a lot of sense.”
“The game wasn't bad, not very long, and the ending was not what I discerned from the story I was given... I guess it was a twist.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the introduction of new mechanics and puzzle challenges, while others criticize it for being repetitive, easy, and lacking diversity in environments. The controls and camera angles have also been noted as problematic, detracting from the overall experience. Despite its appealing art style, many find the gameplay ultimately unengaging and recommend it only at a discounted price.
“As you progress in the levels, they keep introducing new mechanics; new blocks, new flowers.”
“The puzzle mechanics gradually get harder and harder too, from simple bridging the gap to moving specific blocks so that you're shielded from the effects of certain obstacles, such as shooting flowers or electric plants.”
“Game borrows from a wide range of sources, but the main game mechanics used to solve the puzzles work pretty well.”
“The base mechanics are decent, but in a timed situation, hazards whose only purpose is to stun and freeze the player in place are not fun, especially when the delay before moving/climbing can result in being chain stunned.”
“I wanted to like this one; it looks nice, and the game tries to offer a different gameplay experience, not your usual spin on the formulaic gameplay loops that some indie titles adopt. Sadly, it's simply not fun. The gameplay offers no challenge; it's just easy, boring, and thoughtless. Additionally, the environments look very copy-pasted and lack diversity, making the game hard to recommend.”
“Bland and repetitive gameplay.”

The music in the game is highly praised, with many users noting its relaxing and enjoyable qualities, often considering it the standout feature of the experience. The soundtrack enhances the gameplay, fitting well with the game's atmosphere and adding to the overall immersion, although some users expressed frustration over the lack of adjustable volume options. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's charm and appeal, reminiscent of classic titles like Zelda.
“The soundtrack is the real MVP here.”
“I'd buy the soundtrack separately if I could.”
“The music is particularly good and the graphics are colorful, along with a story and full voice-acting to make it more than just a points-based game.”
“Very good stuff, only problem I have is the volume is not adjustable; you can either turn the sound/music on or off, nothing in between.”
“One false move and you can find yourself in a very serious predicament as you start to feel the ground tremble beneath your feet and the musical score starts chanting that 'danger, danger, run, run, you're going to die!' melody.”
“This game is amazing...reminds me of Zelda with the colors, soundtrack, character, controls...but it has its own identity as a unique puzzle game that challenges you big time.”
