Gameplay is noted for its potential repetitiveness due to a lack of unique mechanics for item types and limited sorting options, which can lead to frustration with the stacking system. However, despite its short duration of 4-5 hours, players find it enjoyable and relaxing, with a desire to replay for its simplicity and unwinding qualities. The full game introduces additional complexity and interactions, enhancing the overall experience.
- “Yes, this is only 4-5 hours of gameplay but I already know that I will replay this game over and over again when I need an easy way to unwind.”
- “Levels can sometimes feel repetitive since there aren't many unique mechanics for each item type, and it would be nice to have more ways to sort items and have game modes with deeper mechanics.”
- “The stacking mechanic feels helpful until you stack unwanted items by accident because your workplace is cluttered, and in some cases the fact that you have a stack at all gets masked when a small object is under a bigger one.”
- “Full game added more mechanics to that in terms of complexity (read: extra steps to sorting) and interactions.”
