Players can engage deeply by striving for optimal solutions, though those seeking a more casual experience may find less replay value. Overall, the game offers a satisfying experience that justifies its price.
“Very simple mechanics, and easy to pick up: every interaction comes by gesturing in a direction, and everything that can move in that direction will do so until it hits something.”
“Some people will get more gameplay out of it than others, of course - personally, I'm determined to get all the optimal solutions even if that means spending ages retrying one level over and over.”
“If you only care about finding any solution and then progressing, then you'll get less gameplay out of it, but I'd still say it's easily worth the asking price.”
