The gameplay is described as decent but lacking in challenge, particularly in chapter 2 where platforming and puzzles are introduced. While players can access power-ups like pushing and hovering, these mechanics are not effectively utilized to create engaging or difficult gameplay experiences.
“Gameplay: decent”
“In chapter 2, where you play as a human girl, the gameplay turns to platforming.”
“As far as the puzzles and platforming gameplay, it does not have any significant gameplay elements. You get some power-ups like pushing things and hovering, but the game does not utilize them in any challenging capacity, perhaps in the later chapters.”
