The gameplay is rated 8/10, featuring interesting mechanics that reflect real-life scenarios and offering multiple solutions to puzzles, which encourages creative problem-solving. Players appreciate the calm nature of the gameplay, allowing for a relaxed experience while engaging with "cheesy" mechanics involving laser positioning.
“Having multiple solutions for a puzzle also helps in the sense that it allows for some 'cheesy' mechanics with how you position a laser/set of lasers.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly during complex puzzles that require precise placements and angles, which can lead to frustration. While some levels are enjoyable, the repetitive nature of certain tasks can detract from the overall experience.
“However, the game quickly gets very complicated, and when there are 6 glasses where you have to find the exact angle to get total reflection, it gets tedious very quickly.”
“That was followed by trying to place all the elements in exactly the right places for a minute or two, which may not sound like much time, but it's much too long for a puzzle game, and it gets tedious really fast.”
“Some levels are tedious, but not too much so.”
