  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it well-written and engaging, while others consider it mediocre. The music enhances the single-player experience, and the voice acting is praised, but the cooperative mode lacks any narrative elements, which some see as a positive choice. Overall, the story's impact varies among players, with a consensus on the strong level design.

    • “The music ties in really nicely with the story of the single-player mode, and it was super fun playing through!”
    • “The story, as far as I've played it, is very well written, and I'm very much looking forward to how it's going to turn out.”
    • “I think the voice acting was really good, and the story was engaging.”
    • “Later puzzles can be tedious and the story is a bit meh in my opinion.”
    • “The coop part doesn't contain any of the story, which is the right decision.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is highly addictive, featuring satisfying mechanics that reward players for solving puzzles, particularly with the thrill of successfully completing challenges. New mechanics are introduced progressively, maintaining freshness and increasing difficulty, while the innovative design enhances the overall experience, making it appealing even to those who typically don't enjoy puzzle games.

    • “The mechanics are very satisfying, and few things feel better than sinking an orb right into the middle of a goal after figuring out a solution.”
    • “New mechanics are progressively rolled in as you get deeper and deeper into the game, keeping things fresh and steadily upping the challenge.”
    • “Great puzzle game with innovative, yet comfortable puzzle mechanics and a stellar level design to support them.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive after just a few hours, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “There are too many bugs and glitches that disrupt the flow of gameplay, making it frustrating to play.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its seamless integration with the single-player story, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate its relaxing vibe, making it an enjoyable backdrop for puzzle-solving and casual gameplay.

    • “The music ties in really nicely with the story of the single-player mode, and it was super fun playing through :)”
    • “Perfect game to sit down on the couch, at the PC, or really anywhere to just chill for a while, listen to the great music, and solve some puzzles.”
    • “I love the low-key feeling of the game, the mood, and the music.”
    • “That said, I played through the single-player campaign before I made the music.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that later puzzles can become tedious, contributing to a sense of grinding, while the story fails to engage, making the overall experience less enjoyable.

    • “Later puzzles can be tedious, and the story is a bit lackluster in my opinion.”
    • “The grinding required to level up feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
    • “I found myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which made the experience feel monotonous.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find humor in the game's mechanics, particularly in how they can bypass challenging puzzles by interacting with objects in unexpected ways, such as using a rock to manipulate gameplay. This element of surprise adds a lighthearted and amusing touch to the overall experience.
