The gameplay is praised for its polished core mechanics, engaging surf-like movement, and versatile portal features, offering a relaxing yet progressively challenging experience. While the controls and decisions can feel simple, the depth and varied level design keep the gameplay enjoyable and rewarding.
- “The 50+2 levels focus on the core mechanics and gameplay, making them feel polished and fun once you get the hang of it.”
- “Really fantastic first-person surf-esque game, the added dimension portal mechanics are really fun and versatile, and the level design is varied.”
- “Mechanically, it's quite fun because your acceleration in the air is pretty slow, so you really want to maintain your speed, and you have to rely on wallbouncing and various geometrical features of the map to change your direction.”
- “I get to make 1 gameplay decision at the start of the level, and then I sit there holding down the same movement keys for 15 seconds to see if I got it right.”
