The gameplay is praised for its innovative mechanics and well-designed puzzles that maintain engagement without becoming repetitive. Players appreciate the gradual introduction of new elements, which allows for a satisfying progression in difficulty, while optional challenges provide additional depth and variety. However, some reviewers noted that certain mechanics are underutilized in later levels, leading to a feeling of missed potential in combining them more creatively.
- “There's great pacing to when new mechanics are introduced, and then combined.”
- “A surprising amount of variety and cleverness from the mechanics with a healthy amount of new ideas introduced throughout the whole game.”
- “It's simple and fun, there's a decent mix of easy and hard puzzles, and the majority of the puzzle mechanics feel intuitive and engaging.”
- “That mechanic was almost abandoned in most levels; I don't know why because I saw potential there.”
- “I can understand the temptation to throw all of a game's mechanics into one final level, but a more finely crafted level is needed to support this approach.”
- “However, it's rather basic overall, as most of the different mechanics are introduced and used for a handful of sequential puzzles, and then set aside for the next new idea.”
