Players find that while the game offers engaging puzzles, certain levels can become tedious due to their complexity and the time required to solve them, particularly when precise placements and angles are necessary. This can lead to frustration, as the challenge may feel excessive for a puzzle game. Overall, the game is well-received, but some grinding aspects detract from the experience.
“However, the game quickly gets very complicated, and when there are 6 glasses where you have to find the exact angle to get the 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 maybe doesn't sound like much time, but it's much too long for a puzzle game and it gets tedious really fast.”
“Great puzzle game, some levels are tedious but not too much so.”
