The gameplay is praised for its diverse and evolving mechanics that challenge players without being overly difficult, making it engaging and thought-provoking. While some controls feel loose and the jump mechanic is awkwardly assigned, the game successfully integrates various tools and puzzles that encourage exploration and interaction with the environment. Overall, it offers a rich experience for puzzle enthusiasts, despite some limitations in visual appeal and puzzle-solving variety.
“Each level showcases some novel way for the different mechanics to fit together; not a shred of level is wasted.”
“If you like puzzle games, this is definitely a good one I can recommend to you; it's up there along with English Country Tune and Snakebird in terms of pure gameplay.”
“It is logical, it has diverse gameplay (things are always changing to introduce new gameplay mechanics), it challenges the mind in a very balanced way (it is not too difficult yet difficult enough to cause you to stumble sometimes and think deeply), has great graphics, and has a lot of content to keep you busy and having fun for many hours.”
“The controls feel very loose at times, and I still get annoyed that the jump mechanic is set to default to the 'W' key rather than the spacebar.”
“The number of mechanics is sometimes overwhelming, too.”
“Of the mechanics it does have, I can speak positively.”

The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable yet one-dimensional, while others feel it could have been better developed. Despite these criticisms, the overall campaign is considered substantial, featuring 40 levels and a short epilogue that contribute to the game's appeal, particularly for fans of the puzzle platformer genre.
“This is a truly challenging puzzle platformer with a great difficulty ramp, amazing art style, and enjoyable story.”
“However, these minor irritations do not detract too much from the size and scope of the campaign - 40 playable levels plus a short epilogue to cap the story arc.”
“Not finished the game quite yet, but with five main story puzzles left to do, and extra levels to do after that, I feel confident in recommending this game to anyone who enjoys the puzzle platformer genre.”
“Additionally, the story seemed very one-dimensional.”
“Despite my complaints about the controls and the storyline, this puzzle game was worth the money I paid for it.”

The game's graphics are praised for their beautiful, minimalist style that effectively serves the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. However, some users feel that the anime-like cutscenes do not align well with the rest of the visual design, creating a disconnect. Overall, the art style contributes positively to the game's challenging and explorative nature.
