The gameplay is characterized by well-designed rules that encourage players to creatively apply them in unique ways to solve challenging puzzles, reminiscent of "The Witness." While the game focuses less on rule deduction and more on utilizing established mechanics, it offers depth and complexity, especially as players progress and incorporate previous mechanics into later puzzles. For those seeking a similar experience with improved flow and explanation, "Taiji" is recommended.
- “It's much closer to The Witness in terms of level design, as all symbols have consistent rules across variants. The focus is less on rule deduction (though the rule-guessing gameplay is still pretty good) and more on using those rules in unique ways to create difficult puzzles.”
- “The rules themselves are well-designed, as they're fairly straightforward yet have a lot of depth, particularly when combined with the main mechanic of creating similar regions.”
- “If you want to play a game with the same 'rule-finding' concept and very similar mechanics that flows and explains itself a lot better, I would recommend 'Taiji'.”
- “In the moment-to-moment gameplay, you solve puzzles by separating shapes into sub-regions.”
- “Various other symbols replace or complement numbers with their own mysterious mechanics, and based on the store page, there's lots of other stuff too.”

The graphics are minimalistic and adequate for the game's style, though they lack inspiration and could benefit from options like dark mode or alternate color schemes. Overall, they serve their purpose but are not the main highlight of the experience.
- “The graphics are very minimalistic, good enough for this sort of game, though dark mode or a few alternate color schemes would be a must.”
- “The graphics are definitely not the focus - acceptable but not super inspiring. The screenshots give a very good idea of what to expect.”

The game features a minimalistic audio design with no background music, relying instead on simple sound effects. While the user interface is modest, the absence of music is noted, with only a basic audio toggle available.
- “A single audio on/off toggle, but no music—only a few innocent sound effects, so it's fine.”
- “The UI is modest; there’s no music, just simple sounds, but don’t be fooled by the looks.”
