- The game features a gradual increase in difficulty, with many levels being easy and a few providing a good challenge, making it accessible for casual gamers.
- At its low price point, the game provides a decent amount of content, with around 75 levels that can be completed in about 2 hours, making it a great value.
- Many levels are considered too easy, with only the last few providing a real challenge, leading to a lack of engagement for some players.
- The physics can be inconsistent, resulting in unpredictable outcomes that may frustrate players trying to solve puzzles logically.
- The game is relatively short, and some players feel it could benefit from additional levels or a level editor to enhance replayability.

The gameplay is characterized by a gradual introduction of diverse mechanics that keep the experience engaging, though some players find it overly simplistic and lacking in challenge until later levels. While the game offers a relaxing atmosphere with no penalties, the mechanics often feel underutilized, leading to mixed feelings about their potential. Overall, it combines physics-based puzzles with a focus on sequencing and placement, resulting in a satisfying, albeit sometimes predictable, puzzle-solving experience.
“There's so many novel mechanics revolving around messing with gravity in this game, and the floating tracks where you can shift any object's position really bring it all together and open up so many possibilities for puzzle designs by combining them with any object in the game, especially the rotatable ball-shooter blocks.”
“The game mechanics are fantastic, but the best part is that there are no timers, no penalties, just serene music and a soothing game environment, which makes this a very relaxing, enjoyable puzzle-solving experience.”
“Good physics-based puzzle game with a variety of unique yet challenging mechanics developed throughout the levels as you progress.”
“To be honest, with a title like this, I expected something with micro-gravity mechanics, like 'Angry Birds Space' but with puzzles - and I haven't found that; I was a little disappointed.”
“The title that would relay the game mechanics more accurately would have been 'The Art of Wrecking Ball'.”
“The game continues to introduce new mechanics as the levels proceed; it's never quite challenging, not even that much related to gravity and how you can use it to complete the puzzles.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their clean, simple aesthetic and soothing visuals, which enhance the puzzle-solving experience.

Overall, the visuals are considered above average for the genre, contributing to a meditative and enjoyable gameplay atmosphere.
“Amazing puzzle game with good visuals and fair difficulty.”
“Relaxing puzzle game with really beautiful physics-based graphics.”
“Loved the graphics and music - very soothing.”
“Unless you really like the visuals in this game, I would recommend you play any of the previously mentioned games instead.”
“The only complaint I have is that the game does feel a little barren: between the graphics and music, it almost seems too minimalist.”
“The graphics are also simple, not making use of flashy or particularly great art, but the ambient sounds and associated music are fairly chill and fun to listen to while you solve simple puzzles.”

The music in the game is generally described as soothing and atmospheric, contributing to a relaxing gameplay experience, though some players found it too loud and lacking in volume control options. While many appreciated the calming soundtrack, others felt it was unremarkable and opted to mute it in favor of their own music. Overall, the music enhances the serene environment, but opinions vary on its quality and impact on the gameplay.
“The game mechanics are fantastic, but the best part is that there are no timers, no penalties, just serene music and a soothing game environment, which makes this a very relaxing, enjoyable puzzle-solving experience.”
“While it's a puzzle game it's also not super hard, so, combined with the nice and calm soundtrack, it was a great choice for two relaxing evenings.”
“Super fun and relaxing, with nice music and physics that are so, so satisfying.”
“Unfortunately, there are no settings for music volume.”
“The music and sound effects were nothing special, and I muted them to listen to my own music instead.”
“My only real complaint is that the music seemed too loud (I get that with a lot of games), and there's no separate volume for it, so I had to mute the whole game.”

Overall, the game offers limited replayability due to its short length and the lack of a map or puzzle maker, which could have enhanced the experience. While the polished presentation and achievements provide some incentive to revisit, players may find little motivation to replay once all achievements are unlocked. At a low price point, it offers a few enjoyable hours, but the puzzles are likely to be forgotten, diminishing replay potential.
“A map/puzzle maker for users would have added replay value.”
“Definitely enjoyable, but not much replay value after getting all the achievements. However, for $0.99, it's worth a few hours of fun.”
“The presentation is polished and the achievements add some replay value, but it’s short and lacking overall.”
“I wouldn't say it's replayable without forgetting the puzzles you complete.”

The game is primarily a puzzle experience rather than a narrative-driven one, leading to a storyline that lacks depth. While some users note the absence of a significant plot, they appreciate the underlying moral about perseverance in life.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Obviously, this game wasn't made for a storyline, so I'll classify it as such.”
“The storyline lacks some gravitas, but as it's a puzzle game, there is no storyline, so that's fine.”
