The gameplay is characterized by engaging and innovative physics-based mechanics that offer a rewarding experience, especially when completing levels in unconventional ways. While the game features a charming art style and effective pacing in introducing new mechanics, it is limited by a relatively short playtime of 1-2 hours across 18-28 levels, which may leave some players wanting more.
