The gameplay is characterized by a well-executed main mechanic, but it suffers from a lack of creativity in puzzle design, limiting its potential. While the game is smooth and enjoyable, it feels more like a showcase for its mechanic rather than a fully realized puzzle experience. Overall, it has promise but falls short in delivering engaging challenges.
“The main mechanic is done well.”
“I think that this has the ability to be a short and sweet puzzle game to show off a cool mechanic for other developers to consider using along with a wide range of other mechanics when making games.”
“Even though it's a one-person team, the game is smooth and the gameplay is really fun.”
“Mechanics: terrible”
“But unlike Portal, there is either a lack of creativity with puzzles, or the creator reached the limit to how interesting a puzzle can be with this specific mechanic.”
“It's a shame though, the main game mechanic was promising.”
