    • “The gameplay is engaging; I found the challenge satisfying and fun.”
    • “Each box of donuts introduces a new mechanic or modifies an older mechanic in some way, then leads the player through different puzzles featuring that mechanic, with ramping difficulty within each box.”

    • “Great vibe and the first few hours are fun, but it gets incredibly repetitive even with the frequent introduction of new mechanics, especially if you don't click with said mechanics particularly well.”
    • “I expected a lot more from all the positive reviews, but the levels tend to repeat themselves quite a bit; I'm not going to go through another set of 12 just to get a crumb of new mechanic.”
    • “For the most part, the game is pretty straightforward, but some of the later mechanics are unnecessarily obtuse in how they've been implemented: multiple teleporters dropping doughnuts if there's no free space instead of buffering them.”
