The gameplay is characterized by its minimalist visuals and calming soundtrack, complemented by unique mechanics that enhance the short playtime. However, players noted issues with low ceilings causing unintentional hits and some levels being difficult to navigate due to unclear areas, suggesting that additional mechanics could improve the experience if the game were longer. Overall, it is a charming platformer that reflects the developer's passion.
“Really lovely minimalist visuals, nice calming soundtrack, plenty of unique little mechanics to fill up the short playtime.”
“A simple platformer with really charming mechanics, clearly developed by someone who enjoys making the game.”
“My few issues I had with the game, which could have been more prominent if the game was longer, would be two things. The first is that in a lot of levels, there tend to be areas where the ceiling is quite low, causing unintentional hits on the rooftop because you jumped just a moment too early. The second is that some areas were simply too hard to read, with the reveal mechanic not being effective within those areas.”
“If this game was longer, I feel I would much prefer something like the music note reveal mechanic but built in at all times with a decent cooldown, only showing the path within the immediate area for a very short period of time, almost like a camera flash.”
