The gameplay is a unique blend of adventure storytelling and tactical puzzle-solving, incorporating mechanics reminiscent of a Rubik's cube. Players must navigate obstacles and strategically eliminate knights to activate goals, though the lack of a comprehensive tutorial may hinder new players' understanding of the mechanics. Overall, the game offers a fresh take on puzzle design, albeit with some learning curve challenges.
“What an unusual puzzle that combines the elements of adventure storytelling, tactical moves, and some mechanics of the Rubik's Cube.”
“Using the Rubik's Cube mechanic, you'll have to rotate not only the goal towards your figure to minimize the moves you make with the figure. There will also be obstacles such as walls and knights that guard a tile they are facing. You must not only avoid that tile, but also remove the knights by moving to the tile they stand on from any other tile they don't guard; otherwise, the goal won't activate if there are still knights.”
“Other puzzlers with a cubes-and-tiles environment but different puzzle mechanics are Death Squared and Felix the Reaper.”

“For the bad points, I would say the tutorial is not really a tutorial as it doesn't explain mechanics; it's more like a classic mode.”
