The gameplay is characterized as a simple yet engaging puzzle experience, primarily revolving around sliding block mechanics reminiscent of sokoban and slider puzzles. While the minimalist design and limited mechanics may not appeal to everyone, the game effectively teaches its mechanics and offers a satisfying challenge across its 60 levels, albeit with a short overall playtime. Some players appreciate the straightforward nature and unique block interactions, while others find it lacking in depth and ambition.
“Puzzle gameplay is an improvement over Zup, since it's not just trial and error.”
“Gameplay reminds me of a sokoban and slider puzzle hybrid with a very minimalist look and feel.”
“I wish there were a little more ambition to the game's design, but to its credit, there are a few unique block mechanics that add to the complexity of the gameplay.”
“The issue I had with this game was that there weren't enough game mechanics to keep me engaged.”
“On top of the uninspired puzzles and the minimal aesthetic getting in the way of the actual gameplay, the game constantly showers you with achievements, making it feel like one of those pieces of shovelware that just throws in achievements to draw in the people who just want to get a huge number of achievements as fast as they can.”
“Poor implementation, boring gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are characterized by a minimalist and simplistic art style, which some players find aesthetically pleasing and relaxing, while others criticize it for lacking depth and detail. There are no options for resolution changes or significant graphical tweaks, leading to a perception of low quality for a PC game.

“Gorgeous puzzle game ever... good graphics and music.”
“I also love the simple graphics; it's nice to decompress with.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The game's music is generally described as calming and relaxing, but it suffers from repetitiveness, featuring only one short looping track that can become tedious over time. While some players appreciate the soothing atmosphere it creates, others find the lack of audio controls frustrating, requiring them to use external methods to adjust the sound. Overall, the music complements the minimalist design but lacks variety and depth.
“The music is nice and calming, and the puzzles are challenging but don't feel impossible to complete.”
“So good for relaxing with some music and just chilling out.”
“The music and the option to turn on a darker background offers a nice atmosphere.”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“Music consists of one generic outsourced track that, albeit relaxing, plays constantly on a loop and gets boring after a little while.”
“It's short, the music is repetitive (with one track), there are almost too many achievements (about 2 or 3 appear each time you beat a level), the levels are pretty easy, and the style is simple and minimalist.”
