The gameplay is centered around intriguing puzzle mechanics that show potential, but players feel that the separate mechanics are not effectively integrated, resulting in an experience that resembles a series of tutorial levels rather than a cohesive game.
“The game sells itself as a puzzler, and from the concept in the trailer, you can see that the idea of the game mechanics has a lot of potential.”
“None of the separate mechanics introduced as you play are ever really combined.”
“It feels like playing a bunch of tutorial levels to teach you about the different ideas they had for in-game mechanics.”
