Gameplay is criticized for being tedious and frustrating, particularly due to challenging mechanics like the mirror system that can lead to getting stuck. However, some players appreciate the unique puzzle design, which is engaging and mentally stimulating despite the game's lackluster graphics.
“The game may not look like much, but the puzzles are fair, challenge my brain, and I can't remember having seen this mechanic before.”
“Even earlier, I had to redo levels, since the mirror mechanic makes it difficult to move both avatars up to the same wall - and since I had destroyed the only aid I had for achieving this, I'd effectively gotten myself stuck.”
