The gameplay has been criticized for its inconsistent controls, broken core mechanics, and poorly designed levels, leading to a frustrating experience. While some players appreciate the simplicity and potential for creative solutions, the overall execution feels tedious and unrefined, with a lack of engaging depth. The game’s unique mechanics and puzzle design do not compensate for its shortcomings, resulting in a gameplay loop that fails to satisfy.
- “There is even a valid game mechanic comparison to the great Portal franchise.”
- “The gameplay felt smooth.”
- “The mechanics are simple and the sole idea is just great and fun!”
- “The controls work when they feel like it, the core mechanic is utterly broken, the level design is a nightmare, and to top it all off they stuck achievements into the mix just to remind you how unplayable it all is.”
- “The scoring mechanic often forces awkward sort of brute forcing simple solutions, which usually works, but as the game ramps up difficulty later on I can imagine this getting incredibly tedious.”
- “The puzzle design is fairly poor, and the underlying mechanic is both too simple and too random for fun.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often involving repetitive tasks and awkward mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Many levels are poorly designed, leading to time-consuming gameplay that feels more like a chore than a challenge, with significant time spent farming for cards rather than engaging with the core gameplay. Overall, the grinding can make the game feel unnecessarily prolonged and unenjoyable, especially as difficulty increases.
- “The scoring mechanic often forces awkward brute-forcing of simple solutions, which usually works, but as the game ramps up in difficulty later on, I can imagine this getting incredibly tedious.”
- “The level design in general is awful, with several incredibly tedious maze levels, one or two that are very easy but incredibly time-consuming, and a bunch of levels that force you to shoot from a slope you can't stop yourself sliding around on.”
- “Half my time shown was spent farming for cards, the other half playing, and many of the achievements were earned within the first couple of hours.”
