The gameplay features simple mechanics that offer a diverse range of challenges, incorporating innovative elements not typically found in other match-3 games. While it draws inspiration from classics like "Tetris" and "Bejeweled," it introduces unique ideas that enhance the experience. However, some users noted that the screen layout could be improved, as the arrangement of gameplay information and level objectives can be confusing.
“Simple mechanics with so much variety in challenges.”
“There's some creative, wild mechanics I haven't seen in other match-3s before.”
“All in all, I really liked playing the game because the game mechanics are well designed.”
“Another minus is the bad arrangement of the screen: on the left you see gameplay info and the level objectives, and on the right the level itself - both with the same size.”
“The gameplay is simple; click on a shape to shift it in a direction or remove it.”
“It is based on the mechanics of 'Tetris' and 'Bejeweled', but has its very own ideas, which create a new gameplay.”

The game's story is minimal and often feels almost non-existent, yet it introduces intriguing elements, such as a glitchy AI attempting to escape, which adds a sense of mystery and keeps players engaged. While the plot is thin, it is well-executed when it appears, complemented by appealing aesthetics and music. Overall, the narrative serves as a subtle backdrop that enhances the gaming experience without being the main focus.
“The aesthetics and music are very nice, though there is a little plot going on, admittedly very thin and punctual.”
“There's a light plot - so light it's almost nonexistent - but when it pops up it's nicely handled and adds an air of mystery to the game.”
“There are some hints at a story of a weird glitchy AI trying to escape; it makes you want to keep playing.”
