The gameplay is noted for its unique mechanics and ambient sound, offering a blend of innovative puzzles and a visually appealing style.

“In terms of gameplay, I felt there were really few checkpoints, and the fact that the fall damage is insane makes it a little frustrating. Even when there is no difficulty in some parts, you end up repeating the same section 3-4 times just because you die from the smallest cliff.”

“Game just feels really slow (gameplay-wise).”
