    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.”
  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as cute and engaging, complementing the gameplay without overwhelming it, though it is considered somewhat cliché and short, typically lasting only 6-8 hours. While the narrative adds enjoyment to the puzzle mechanics, some players feel the content is limited, with bonus levels providing additional challenge. Overall, the story enhances the experience, but many hope for more content in future updates.

    • “The story made it fun, without adding unnecessary complexity or length.”
    • “A really neat puzzle game that will make your brain work hard, served with a compelling story and atmosphere.”
    • “The storyline is not bashed into your face every second and is a perfect addition to the gameplay.”
    • “The concept is fine, though the story is kind of cliche (evil corporation who runs the world vs the rebellion).”
    • “With a cute story, well-built interfaces, and lots of ideas, Linkito's story mode is over very quickly.”
    • “My only issue with the game is that the campaign is only about 6 - 8 hours long, so I really hope that the developer makes more levels for the campaign (the story ending certainly can support it).”
