The gameplay features a mix of simple yet challenging mechanics, with some puzzles ranging from easy to extremely difficult. While the game introduces original mechanics, such as tile placement and value selection, these are underutilized, appearing in only a couple of levels. Overall, the gameplay is praised for its creativity, despite the limited use of certain mechanics.
“Simple mechanics but can be really challenging.”
“Very original mechanics!”
“Nice unusual mechanics.”
“Unfortunately, the extra mechanics are used in only 2 levels each.”
“Other mechanics used in only a few of the levels are: having a few tiles that you must decide where they should be placed, and having a tile whose value you must pick.”
“Simple mechanics - some puzzles are easy, some are devilishly difficult.”

Users report significant stability issues, particularly with the shift+tab function, which can lead to the game freezing, unresponsiveness, or an empty Steam UI. Overall, these problems detract from the gaming experience.
“Don't even try to do Shift+Tab because one of three outcomes will happen: either it does nothing, it freezes the game, or if you're 'lucky' enough to see the Steam UI show up, it will be 'empty'.”
