    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and repetitiveness, drawing comparisons to titles like Angry Birds, which may appeal to casual players but can become monotonous over time. While the level design and mechanics are introduced gradually and offer some challenge, many players find the lack of depth and control limits the overall experience. The game's beautiful visuals and music are praised, but they are often seen as overshadowing the gameplay itself, which may not hold players' interest for extended sessions.

    • “The level design tends to be pretty good, the only really hard stuff to hit being the stars, but many of the targets involve an interesting use of the mechanics given.”
    • “There's a boost in the direction you're moving, a set-angle boost, a move to turn into a ball, and a grapple mechanic, given to the player piece-by-piece over the course of the four worlds.”
    • “For gameplay, it's a solid physics-based game that shares most of its similarity with Angry Birds; the challenge is present in the very first stage, once you get used to your new existence as a Metroid-esque jellyfish creature.”
    • “While I appreciated the presentation and music, I just can't get into the gameplay enough to recommend this to anyone, unless you really happen to like Angry Birds.”
    • “All in all, the game is a nice distraction for a bit, but the same mechanics and simplicity of play, along with a lack of control, start to get old.”
    • “In conclusion, this game is great in short bursts, though when you stay and play, you will get tired because of its repetitive and limited gameplay.”
  • graphics
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their vibrant, psychedelic art style, which enhances the overall aesthetic and sets it apart from other titles. While some reviewers note that the visuals can be busy, they contribute to a relaxing and immersive experience, complemented by a fitting soundtrack. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, making the game visually appealing despite some critiques regarding depth and smoothness in gameplay.

    • “A solid mobile-style single-button physics puzzler with gorgeous, psychedelic visuals.”
    • “In fact, the colorful, almost trippy, art style is quite different, and definitely what I would consider this game's strong suit.”
    • “Its a very relaxing game with soothing music; the artwork is dazzling and feels alive. This is a really fun puzzle/action game.”
    • “The graphics aren't much to write home about, but they do a good job, and even have that retro Ecco the Dolphin feel.”
    • “It's simple, colorful graphics, but that's about it.”
    • “While the visuals and the overall implementation of the game concept were done very well, the gameplay itself lacks a bit of depth and smoothness.”
  • music
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is often described as trippy, ambient, and well-integrated with the visuals, enhancing the overall experience and creating a relaxing atmosphere. While many players appreciate the soothing qualities and dynamic nature of the soundtrack, some find it repetitive and annoying over time. Overall, the music complements the game's psychedelic aesthetic, making it a notable aspect for those who enjoy immersive soundscapes.

    • “And the music blends itself well into this trippy vibe that the game has going for itself.”
    • “Similarly psychedelic to the visual style of the game is the soundtrack, with its equally as trippy and ambient qualities that build up and evolve with each successful move you make.”
    • “In particular the dynamic music and the sound effects are fantastic, and it looks beautiful.”
    • “Slow, boring, pointless, ugly art, utterly bad music, terrible support and performances.”
    • “Although the background music matches the psychedelic graphics, it gets quite annoying after a while.”
    • “While I appreciated the presentation and music, I just can't get into the gameplay enough to recommend this to anyone, unless you really happen to like Angry Birds.”

  • atmosphere

    • “It's really beautiful, with a pleasant atmosphere, and even if it uses only one button, you'll have to think to get all the stars.”
    • “That can become very frustrating very quickly, which spoils the chilled-out atmosphere the developers are justifiably proud of.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
