  • gameplay
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "naboki" is characterized by its simple yet engaging mechanics that evolve throughout the game, introducing new elements every few levels to maintain interest and challenge. Players appreciate the intuitive design and elegant presentation, although some feel that later levels can become tedious and less focused on core mechanics. Overall, it offers a relaxing puzzle experience with a variety of unique challenges, making it a solid choice for fans of the genre.

    • “The mechanics of the game are intuitive, and each time a new mechanic is introduced, it is done in a clear, clever, and understandable manner.”
    • “It starts simple, just find the order in which the pieces can be removed by looking for the arrow pointing out, but new interesting mechanics are added every few levels: blocks you can rotate, arrows you can rotate, blocks that don't need to be removed but are in your way, blocks that move together, lines you have to connect...”
    • “A fresh idea, lots of levels, a quite nice variety of mechanics and somewhat surprisingly high difficulty make this game not only exceptionally cheap, but also give it exceptionally good value.”
    • “Starts off strong, then becomes an ultra tedious match-the-image game, just completely abandoning its core mechanics to waste your time.”
    • “I didn't think the mechanics felt particularly deep, nor did I ever feel like I was really challenged, but I enjoyed it as a brief distraction all the same.”
    • “Unfortunately, the Steam version is kind of short; I have some practice from playing the web version on Armor Games, but even with the new mechanic and fresh levels which I hadn't seen, I finished the Steam version in all of 50 minutes.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as soothing and atmospheric, enhancing the immersive experience while solving puzzles. However, some users noted issues with audio quality, such as popping sounds and a lack of control over music settings, leading to frustration for those wanting to customize their audio experience. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated for its chill vibe, it could benefit from improvements in volume control and quality.

    • “The game's simple yet elegant graphics, coupled with its soothing soundtrack, create an immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience.”
    • “I could sit and vibe to the music as it soothed me while solving the puzzles.”
    • “Soothing music, a smooth difficulty curve, and constantly evolving rules.”
    • “My only complaint about this one is the music; it pops and breaks repeatedly, and not in a good mid-80s hip-hop kinda way.”
    • “The background and audio (no music) also felt lacking.”
    • “The music barely exists.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are characterized by a simple yet elegant style that enhances the immersive gameplay experience, complemented by a soothing soundtrack.

    • “The game's simple yet elegant graphics, coupled with its soothing soundtrack, create an immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience.”
    • “Puzzle game with simple, yet great graphical style.”
    • “Graphics and concept are relatively simple, although you will need some 3D perception capabilities to solve the puzzles successfully, especially with the latter ones as they get more complex.”
    • “Done right, these would not offend the developer's minimalist aesthetic.”
    • “The interface, rules, sound design, visuals, are as polished as ever.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is characterized by a minimalist and abstract design that fosters a relaxing and meditative experience. Players appreciate the intuitive mechanics, soothing sound design, and chill music, although some note that the game feels a bit short. Overall, it creates an engaging and atmospheric environment that enhances the puzzle-solving experience.

    • “It challenges players to deconstruct various objects in a minimalist and atmospheric environment.”
    • “Like other games from these developers, this is also an abstract puzzle game with a relaxing, meditative atmosphere.”
    • “Atmospheric, very intuitive and interesting, with great sound design and chill music, although it is a little bit short.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that while some puzzles in the game are engaging, they can become tedious, particularly as the gameplay shifts towards repetitive image-matching tasks that detract from the core mechanics. Overall, players express frustration with the grinding nature of these later challenges.

    • “Starts off strong, then becomes an ultra tedious match-the-image game, completely abandoning its core mechanics to waste your time.”
    • “Felt a little tedious at times.”
    • “Some of the larger puzzles can be a bit tedious to figure out, but I do feel they were rare.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks significant replayability, as completing it simply restarts the experience without introducing new elements, making it less engaging for players who remember their previous playthrough.

    • “Once complete, however, it just starts again, so there is no replayability (unless you forget).”
    • “The game lacks meaningful choices, making replayability feel pointless.”
    • “After finishing the game, I found no incentive to play through it again.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is minimal, with players primarily engaging with gameplay elements rather than a narrative. Reviewers suggest that those seeking a rich story should temper their expectations, as the experience revolves more around gameplay mechanics than storytelling.

    • “It really is just that, don't expect a story or anything, it'll just be you and a bunch of cubes.”
    • “My reviews do consider the significance of gameplay, story, music, etc. before I assign a score (e.g. walking simulators don't have much emphasis on gameplay, but I wouldn't let that reflect negatively on the individual game being reviewed).”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game is criticized for being overpriced at $1.99, especially given the limited content, leading users to suggest it would be more suitable as a free mobile game supported by ads.

    • “Another puzzle game that would make for an okay mobile game with ads, but it's not worth the $1.99 given how little content there is.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game demonstrates excellent stability on Linux, with users reporting smooth performance and minimal issues.

    • “Runs great on Linux.”
