The gameplay is criticized for underutilizing introduced mechanics, as each is typically only featured in isolated puzzles without further integration into challenging stages. While the controls are responsive and the soundtrack is unobtrusive, the overall experience feels lacking due to the repetitive introduction and abandonment of mechanics.
“Controls are very responsive and snappy, and do not hinder the gameplay.”
“Every second or third room, a new mechanic is introduced through the charming 'don't do this' signs, you solve a puzzle directly after that (usually without any signs for 'help') using the same mechanic, and then it is dropped for the rest of the game.”
“Sadly, it feels like the potential wasn't used to its fullest, since every mechanic that is introduced is only used on its own.”
“What I was really missing at the end would have been some challenging stages that made use of all the introduced mechanics.”
