The gameplay is characterized by charming and unique mechanics that evolve throughout the game, providing a fun challenge for players. However, it suffers from a mix of overly complicated puzzles and filler content that lacks innovation, leading to moments of frustration and trial-and-error. While the introduction of mechanics is well-executed, the game could benefit from more teaching levels to ease players into the complexity.
