The gameplay is hindered by a lackluster user interface that resembles a browser game, and the tutorial fails to effectively teach mechanics, leaving players feeling confused. Many find the controls counter-intuitive and the gameplay mechanics difficult to understand, leading to a frustrating experience.
- “For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static images, it might as well be a browser game.”
- “Maybe I am wrong and the game explains why, but the thing is the game explains its mechanics like you should know it, rather than you learning from the tutorial levels (which were pretty boring aside from the Sudoku-esque puzzle).”
- “The controls are counter-intuitive and gameplay mechanics are hard to grasp.”
