Gameplay in this title is a mixed bag, featuring new mechanics that aim to refresh the experience but often result in frustrating controls and poorly designed levels. While some players appreciate the simplicity and relaxing pace, others criticize the inconsistent physics and the introduction of challenging elements that detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, the game offers a decent number of levels and a satisfying challenge for those willing to navigate its quirks.
- “Gameplay is simple and easy to understand.”
- “I have found this pace of gameplay relaxing and satisfying - a soothing experience after endless escapes from hordes of zombies in other games.”
- “While there are some annoyances, the game is pretty much mind-blowing and interesting in the way that various game mechanics make the game very tough until you get the feeling of the fact that you can go onto empty space and then move one more tile without falling and until you actually start planning your movements far in advance.”
- “After I'd gotten about halfway through the levels, I found myself dealing with backwards control mechanics, which I found very finicky and frustrating.”
- “These new mechanics could've been implemented well, but their execution is absolutely horrendous.”
- “The last point is the biggest concern as most of the puzzles have mechanics based on more edge-focused movements which sometimes cause your block to be off-grid and it can throw off the whole puzzle.”
