  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as minimalistic and lacking in detail, often reduced to simple dots of color with no animation.

    • “This game is clean and simple with nice simple graphics and good relaxing music.”
    • “Minimalistic visuals are fine when the gameplay is interesting, but there's none of that here.”
    • “Visuals are just dots of color with no animation whatsoever.”
    • “There isn't much to say about the graphics; you can see it from the requirements and videos/images, plain and simple, lots of moving/static balls on a white background.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of opinions, with some players appreciating the minimalistic design and clever mechanics, while others criticize the lack of interactivity and the steep difficulty curve.

Overall, the gameplay is seen as simplistic yet flawed, with a score of 7/10 reflecting a divided reception.

    • “Design is minimalistic and that makes this game based on gameplay alone, and I like that.”
