“Different 'minds', or characters that you play with, each having a different perk, are unlockable with progress and/or a currency earned through gameplay, and there's also a fun little mini-game on the main screen.”
“For the low price, there is a surprising amount of non-obvious mechanics involved, and I had fun discovering them.”
“Feels polished, tight gameplay, and looks really good.”
“The trailer doesn't adequately convey what gameplay is like, and the still images don't help either; in practice, gameplay is much more straightforward than the trailer might make it out to be.”
“It's almost a turn-based puzzler if it weren't for one real-time mechanic that relies a bit on fast execution.”
