The gameplay features a mix of unique mechanics that can be both intriguing and frustrating, with only a couple of key mechanics that lack satisfying execution. While the game offers a wealth of content and challenging puzzles that encourage creativity and experimentation, the controls can feel imprecise and cumbersome, leading to a trial-and-error approach that may not appeal to all players. Overall, the experience is a blend of innovative ideas and execution flaws, reminiscent of mobile game ads with poor gameplay.
- “This game has a lot of unique mechanics that are used in such amazing ways that my brain can't even comprehend.”
- “I'm a modest puzzler, and I feel like what makes a good puzzle game good is the discovery of key intuition or hidden-in-plain-sight game mechanics to solve puzzles.”
- “Lots of content, puzzles aren't easy, gets very difficult, you have to be creative - understanding the mechanics takes a lot of trial and error - fun and challenging!”
- “Overall, there are only 2 key mechanics in this game, and they don't feel satisfying to use.”
- “This game reminds me of those mobile game ads where they have the comic sans 'my grandmother can't solve this one!' over clearly bad gameplay.”
- “See, Q Remastered purposefully makes your controls bad: you draw with a very thick marker (disallowing smaller, more intricate devices), there's a pretty sizeable no-draw radius around existing objects, and there's a highly finicky 'density' mechanic (accomplished by scribbling in one area for a long time).”
