The gameplay is characterized by clever, simple mechanics that encourage deep thinking and strategic planning, making it engaging and addictive for puzzle enthusiasts. While the gradual introduction of mechanics helps ease players into the game, some users noted that certain features, like resetting puzzles and hints, could have been better explained upfront. Overall, the puzzles are well-crafted, though some players found the lack of intuitive feedback and occasional difficulty spikes to be frustrating.
- “Super clever puzzle game with really simple mechanics that nonetheless invite you to think very, very hard about every meticulously crafted board.”
- “It's brilliant in how it teaches you how to understand each mechanic.”
- “The way a game with mechanics this simple still manages to feel varied and unique in most puzzles until the end is seriously impressive to me.”
- “The gameplay requires you to obstruct the path of projectiles, and sometimes there are multiple candidates for where you should place a wall to block that projectile.”
- “Revealing game mechanics and rules gradually is fine, but basic features like resetting or a hint system should be explained upfront, not locked behind later levels.”
- “It's very minor though and on the player to not abuse the mechanic.”

The graphics of the game are generally described as simple and functional, with a distinct Game Boy aesthetic that some players appreciate while others find limiting. While the visuals effectively convey necessary information for gameplay, many reviewers express a desire for more compelling art styles and options, particularly in the PC version where a modern graphics mode is available. Overall, the minimalist graphics do not detract significantly from the puzzle experience, but they leave room for improvement in aesthetic appeal.
- “Moreover, the cutesy art style gels with the simple sentence construction, giving the impression of a studied silliness.”
- “A fantastic grid puzzle game with slick rules and a simple but effective aesthetic.”
- “The puzzles themselves are as tightly designed as one would hope and the visuals convey all the necessary information very clearly.”
- “I think the game presenting itself as a strictly logical game is a veiled excuse for the simple graphics.”
- “Low in the aesthetics department (very simple visuals, no music), very high in the puzzle department.”
- “The two Game Boy interfaces are rough to look at and the third 'paper' aesthetic is just...fine.”

The game features a notable absence of music, which some players find enhances the focus on puzzle-solving, while others feel it leaves the experience feeling bare or empty. Many reviewers suggest that the minimalist design, including the lack of music, contributes to a calm atmosphere, allowing players to enjoy their own soundtracks if desired. Overall, while the absence of music is seen as a flaw by some, it is also acknowledged as a design choice that aligns with the game's intent and simplicity.
- “That said, I took that opportunity myself to listen to my own music while playing this (something that I rarely ever do in video games) and it fit right into my gameplay sessions.”
- “The presentation is lovely and the lack of music adds a sense of calmness.”
- “This is a great indie project for teasing your brain while listening to music and relaxing.”
- “The most definitive flaw is the lack of any music, but for a debut game from a single developer, at $5, it's hard to be too bothered by this.”
- “There's also no music, minimal sound effects, and really nothing else aside from the puzzles.”
- “It is a very pure game - there's no story, no music, and barely any graphics or sound.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game can lead to a tedious experience, with players often feeling bored due to repetitive tasks and a lack of features like an "undo" button.

- “While there is value in a focused experience, the limitations thus imposed can lead a game to be dull and, eventually, tedious.”
- “All too often you're staring blankly, trying to find that one deduction that solves the level, except you also then have to tediously fill out the board too.”
- “I ended up finding the game fairly boring as a deductive puzzle game because the process of solving the puzzle is fairly tedious.”

- “The terse, humorous edicts about menu functions and what logical rules to follow give the game a fun distinct personality.”
- “And there are a lot of emergent ideas... there are chain reactions and crazy interactions happening everywhere: some of them are hilarious, some of them are shocking, and some of them are downright devious.”
- “I have never before asked myself 'how the hell did he pull that off?' while staring at random blocks in a 10x10 grid, nor has the placement of a single pixel ever made me laugh out loud and mutter 'you cheeky bastard' before now.”
