The gameplay features a unique time-bending mechanic that allows players to manipulate move history while solving increasingly complex puzzles across multiple chapters. The game effectively introduces its mechanics through early levels, gradually escalating in difficulty and incorporating a variety of innovative elements, such as one-way gates and time-stopping spots. While the abundance of mechanics may be overwhelming for some, the overall design is praised for its depth, customization options, and engaging level variety, though players noted a lack of quick access to a comprehensive dictionary of mechanics as a drawback.
- “You solve puzzles across multiple chapters, learning increasingly complex time-bending mechanics.”
- “Interesting puzzle game with a clever temporal mechanic that's unique among puzzle games I've played.”
- “The core concept of manipulating move history is a bit confusing at first and makes a lot more sense after playing the game than reading about it, and the early levels do a good job of demonstrating how the game mechanics work.”
- “The time mechanic is simpler than it sounds; your moves are listed for each of the robots you control, and the game is just about rewinding and winding forward until you get the movement sequences right.”
- “Perhaps the abundance of mechanics may be overwhelming for some, but I still consider it a plus.”
- “[Most negative aspect for me:] no quick access to a dictionary of all the mechanics.”
