“Impressive sound design, easy to grasp but hard to master mechanics.”
“The mechanics are very interesting and are introduced at a perfect rate to keep me engaged.”
“As with more traditional hashi-type games, there are no verbal instructions, which means no language barriers; however, in some sections, the introduction of the new mechanic could be slightly clearer. The first time I came across the movable blocks, it took a while to figure out they could be moved.”
“Every constellation incorporates some mechanic, and in the later worlds, some of them are combined to add difficulty to the riddles.”
“The introduction of new puzzle mechanics is paced just right, and gives you a real sense of satisfaction when you start solving the trickier puzzles.”
