    • “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.”
    • “The core mechanic is interesting, not too rage-inducing (it is certainly cheeky though!) and there's enough extra mechanics and well-designed levels to keep it fresh.”
    • “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 within the area.”

    • “Starting from a simple to understand concept, the gameplay ramps up in difficulty as its creative level design integrates more features, and the platforming gets significantly more challenging as the game progresses.”
