The gameplay is characterized by a promising main mechanic that, while well-executed, suffers from a lack of creativity in puzzle design and poor implementation of visual elements. Players appreciate the smoothness and fun of the gameplay, likening it to other titles, but feel that the potential of the mechanics is not fully realized. Overall, it offers a unique experience, though it may not meet the standards of a polished commercial release.
