  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a variety of puzzle mechanics, including key finding and box placement, alongside engaging elements like lowering platforms and traps. While the precision throwing mechanic is interesting, it suffers from slow execution and excessive input requirements. Overall, despite some low-budget presentation and control issues, the puzzle-platformer gameplay is considered above average with potential for future improvements in a sequel or remake.

    • “There are fun variations of gameplay; it would really be a good basis for a sequel or remake.”
    • “The core puzzle mechanic is finding keys or placing boxes/cubes on buttons to open doors.”
    • “Mechanics include lowering and crumbling platforms as well as traps like spikes and fireballs.”
    • “The puzzles consist of different mechanics that mostly are specific to the world you're in.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is described as enjoyable yet flawed, with some players appreciating its relaxing nature and lovely ending, while others criticize its complexity and lack of personality. Although the narrative features intricate puzzles that become more challenging as the game progresses, low-budget cutscenes and forgettable characters detract from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, many hope for a sequel that could improve on these aspects.

    • “Very enjoyable journey, puzzles, and story!”
    • “Elli is a really pretty game and actually quite relaxing to play, nice story and lovely ending, great game for the price. I would love it if there was an Elli 2.”
    • “But the further you progress into the story, the more complex the puzzles get.”
    • “The story and overall rhythm is a bit too intricate and broken, but I'm hoping the devs are preparing another game with the same skillset in terms of art and a better marketing plan!”
    • “The story and characters didn't really do anything for me here, and I feel like you were trying to make the characters cute, but it just didn't work. Maybe it's because the cutscenes were done kind of poorly.”
    • “If you can forgive some low-budget cutscenes, forgettable story, and the lack of keyboard and mouse support, the actual puzzle-platformer gameplay is not bad; I would even say it's above average.”
