The gameplay is centered around a unique reflection mechanic that allows players to swap positions with a blue dot, creating engaging and challenging puzzles. While the mechanics are intuitive and well-explored, some players found the introduction of these mechanics to be abrupt, leading to difficulty in early levels. Overall, the game features tight controls and inspired level design, making for a rewarding puzzle experience despite some minor frustrations.
- “The core mechanic of the game is its reflection mechanic, which swaps you with a blue dot on the opposite side of the screen.”
- “The mechanics are introduced and used in expert ways to get the player familiar, and no level ever feels 'boring'.”
- “A delightful puzzle game with some roughness around the edges, but with a solid core gameplay mechanic, tight controls, and inspired level design.”
- “It supports a controller, but the default button mapping made it almost impossible to pull off the needed mechanics, so I advise playing on keyboard.”
- “My only complaints are that the music is very annoying and distracting, and that the mechanics should have been introduced more slowly because the early levels already require you to break your fingers sometimes.”
- “It took a while to get the hang of the game mechanics, but it was worth it.”
