The gameplay is a mix of challenging puzzles that require precision and mechanical reasoning, appealing to those with an interest in physics and engineering. However, many players find the drawing mechanics imprecise and frustrating, leading to difficulties in completing levels. While the game offers engaging content, excessive ads and occasional technical issues detract from the overall experience.
“Starting off drawing shapes to move balls around the screen, the game develops, becoming a balancing act of ingenuity, precision, and skill, without adding any additional mechanics.”
“Exceptional and challenging gameplay.”
“Awesome brain teaser, challenging levels, and great gameplay.”
“Many of the levels require quite high precision (getting magnets to fall, for example) and this is just mechanically very hard to accomplish on a Galaxy S8+.”
“Some of the puzzles are damn near impossible even with the hint because of the poor gameplay and touch detection.”
“The drawing mechanic is imprecise, so often you'll know the solution but you won't be able to draw precise enough.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and annoying, leading to a desire for a mute option or the ability to customize background music. Some users appreciate the jazz and blues elements, noting they fit the game's tone, while others are frustrated by intrusive ads that disrupt their listening experience. Overall, while the soundtrack has its fans, it often detracts from the gameplay for many players.
“I leave the jazz tune on because it reminds me of Mancini's Pink Panther cartoon score, and with the goofball ways some initial attempts at solutions pan out, the music is apropos.”
“It is wildly fun to play, satisfying to see your visual spatial problem-solving skills succeed, and the great blues soundtrack keeps you going. The graphics have a physical reality to their rhythms and responses despite being so simple.”
“The music is the cherry on top.”
“Music got annoying, love the mute option.”
“The music is annoying and stressful, which is probably the point of it.”
“The music is just awful, but the game itself is fine and challenging.”

“Best game with hardest missions”
“Very challenging and without any backstory, slowing things down.”
“Least fun physics puzzle game I've ever played. A lot of things are lackluster, including the background music and graphics. The levels discourage creativity, as there aren't multiple ways to solve them. The drawing line's thickness reduces accuracy, especially on my 5.15-inch phone with fat fingers.”
“I think the missions are so stupid.”
