The gameplay is characterized by a charming and challenging design that introduces a variety of mechanics, keeping players engaged with both easy and hard puzzles. While the initial levels are straightforward, complexity increases as new mechanics are introduced, encouraging players to explore optional challenges. However, some reviewers noted that the mechanics, while well-crafted, often feel underutilized as they are quickly replaced by new ideas, leading to a somewhat basic overall experience.
“Charming and challenging without being brutal - but the optional levels (either side of the path) will make you think and challenge your understanding of the mechanics.”
“A surprising amount of variety and cleverness from the mechanics with a healthy amount of new ideas introduced throughout the whole game.”
“Absolutely delightful puzzle game with a simple - yet brilliant - gameplay idea.”
“It may sound easy, and while the first few levels are trivial with just a bit of attention in spotting where such a path is possible, things get complicated quickly when new mechanics are introduced.”
“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.”
“The levels are organized in a central path and short stems branching out of it, with easier levels on the main path introducing new mechanics and new interactions, and harder levels you have to think through on the optional branches.”
