The gameplay is characterized by a unique shrinking and growing mechanic that enhances exploration and progression, offering hundreds of hours of content despite some repetitive maze-like elements. While the graphics may be subpar and controls occasionally finicky, the depth and complexity of the mechanics create an engaging experience that encourages discovery and experimentation. Overall, players find the gameplay to be addictive and rewarding, making it a standout feature of the game.
“The defining mechanic of being able to shrink and grow by many orders of magnitude is not just a gimmick, but actually integrates well with satisfying exploration and progression.”
“This game houses hundreds of hours of unique content, and has a very unique mechanic of shrinking and growing.”
“There's an unbelievable amount of content in this game, and the mechanics and principles that comprise it are brilliant.”
“Oh yeah, that's right sorry, forgot to mention, this gameplay is mostly just solving long tedious mazes, following a procedure and eliminating dead ends until you find your way out.”
“The gameplay itself is pretty barebones and weirdly balanced, but it's a well-wrapped first-person ARPG that doesn't take too long to learn the design language of.”
“The environments are octree jank as artform, every creature is an immobile sphere, the sounds aim for quirky and only reach annoying, half your time is spent in the same randomly generated maze, every mechanic is overexplained or unexplained.”
