    • “The amount of juice this game gets out of its simple mechanics is stunning, and the focus on contraption-ish puzzles gives it a pretty unique feel compared to similar games.”
    • “The progression system is good - you can unlock new levels/worlds without having to fully complete what came before, and there are relatively few mechanics that are each explored thoroughly.”
    • “This is a really great puzzle game, with a beautifully elegant core mechanic that is really well developed through lots of clever levels - with some fun and rewarding puzzles integrated into the overworld to motivate you to complete harder optional puzzles.”

  • graphics13 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their cute and simple aesthetic, which complements the puzzle gameplay well, featuring charming jelly animations and a relaxing atmosphere. However, some users noted minor graphical glitches and expressed disappointment with the background visuals, feeling that they could have been more thematically rich instead of relying on a basic tile set. Overall, the visuals are considered decent and effective for the puzzle genre, though there is room for improvement in thematic design.

    • “The puzzles are accessible and never unclear, and the graphics and sound effects are wonderful - all jiggly and tactile.”
    • “Other than that, the only problems I can think of are minor graphics glitches that have zero impact on gameplay.”
    • “The visuals themselves are fine, it's just that the world that the game is built for doesn't quite match the visuals in my opinion.”
    • “The visuals themselves are fine, it's just that the world that the game is built for doesn't quite match the visuals in my opinion.”

    • “Music: really chill music to play puzzle games to.”
    • “Soothing music is first rate.”
