“This game does an incredible job layering mechanics, and builds on itself in such a creative way with some of the most challenging puzzles I have played.”
“The game's mechanics are absolute genius and the game is constantly giving you new toys to play with; even over the course of a 30+ hour playthrough the game hardly ever felt stale or repetitive and it kept surprising me.”
“The way this game builds upon its seemingly simple mechanics to build ever more complex puzzles using the same set of tools as before is astounding, and I was never bored despite the almost minimalistic set of tools at your disposal.”
“The game has mediocre graphics, nearly non-existent music, and gameplay looks dull at first glance.”
“Hard to get into, the first world is really open and non-directed, coupled with some really hard puzzles and generally unique and challenge mechanics it is really easy to quit with only a few or no completed puzzles.”
“New mechanics introduced are too few and far between.”
