The gameplay is highlighted by excellent photography mechanics and a unique time-rewind feature, which, while initially feeling out of place, adds depth to the experience. Players appreciate the innovative lens mechanic that enhances platforming by allowing them to create their own paths through levels.
“The photography mechanics are excellent and super fun. The time-rewind feature didn't fit in very well with the plot initially, but it is also a good feature.”
“Interesting mechanic for a platformer in that you create your own platform/way to the end of the level.”
“I liked the mechanic of the lens, though.”
“The gameplay feels like a basic viewfinder experience, but in 2D, lacking depth and innovation.”

The emotional aspect of the game is impacted by a frustrating mechanic where players become stuck in a jumping frame upon colliding with objects, leading to a sense of helplessness and diminished enjoyment. This design choice can evoke feelings of annoyance rather than engagement, detracting from the overall emotional experience.
