The gameplay features a variety of mechanics that keep the experience engaging, particularly in the later levels that effectively utilize learned skills while introducing new concepts. However, some mechanics are underutilized, leading to frustration, especially with time-based challenges and a final section that diverges from the established gameplay style. Overall, the game offers a mix of easy to medium puzzles, a solid game feel, and an enjoyable logic simulation, though it may feel short and simplistic for some players.
“Mechanics are varied, and I especially liked the last levels which both used everything you learned along the way and managed to wrap it in another layer of discovery, which was very fun.”
“Linkito has some interesting mechanics -- on one hand, you're building circuits to solve some interesting puzzles, and on the other, you're often racing against the clock before your time-based power runs out -- essentially testing your reflexes.”
“A very enjoyable logic sim with cool mechanics and story/campaign, really love the design/feel of it, highly recommend!”
“That wouldn't really be a problem if the difficulty were due to clever use of game mechanics or something like that, but here it's largely achieved simply by making a tangled mess of wires and the game basically saying, 'here, sort this out.'”
“It feels like it never really gets going and bizarrely the final section of the game completely drops the mechanics established in the rest of the game and just becomes a frustrating platformer with no programmable aspects.”
“I am not a fan of this mechanic.”
