  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics and a relaxing atmosphere, appealing to those who enjoy straightforward puzzles. While it offers a beautiful aesthetic and a narrative element, many players find the challenges to be limited and the overall experience to be relatively short, typically lasting between 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on familiarity with the mechanics.

    • “This is the type of game I like, simple mechanics with a very beautiful and elegant look.”
    • “It's a lot like the first one ('Nature') in terms of gameplay, but with a new theme (cat), and now there's some kind of narrative involved, which is a nice addition.”
    • “A relaxing game, both in music and in gameplay, which despite being simple, can at times be challenging.”
    • “Not exactly the most riveting gameplay or hardest puzzles.”
    • “Being familiar with the mechanics means this one won't take more than 30-40 minutes; otherwise, it will probably take 1-2 hours.”
    • “You have to remember what shape goes with which shape, and it keeps going till the end without the game evolving to its full potential by adding some unique mechanics.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized for the presence of suspicious reviews, likely from fake accounts that promote the game shortly after its Steam launch, suggesting a pattern of asset flipping and cash grab tactics. This raises concerns about the authenticity of user feedback and the game's overall value.

    • “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend more money on in-game purchases.”
    • “It seems like the game was designed around making money rather than providing a good experience for players.”
    • “The prices for in-game items are outrageous, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending a fortune.”
