  • gameplay
    197 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by intuitive mechanics and smooth movement, allowing players to engage with a variety of clever puzzles that gradually introduce new elements. While the game offers a satisfying challenge, some mechanics may not be clearly explained, leading to moments of confusion. Overall, it combines charming visuals with a unique puzzle design, making it a standout title in the genre.

    • “The movement is quick and smooth, the undo button makes the gameplay a breeze, the puzzle design favors simplicity rather than tediousness, and brings many satisfying moments.”
    • “Each broken robot brings its own mechanics and blocks, adding a lot of variety to the puzzles.”
    • “The puzzles themselves are challenging and require some thought but never rely on obtuse jumps in logic, and game mechanics are introduced gradually and with some fun.”
    • “Very cool puzzle game, but there are levels where a mechanic that hasn't been introduced yet is needed, which is plainly unfair.”
    • “A few times I found myself stuck figuring out what to do, only to learn a mechanic was taught later.”
    • “The biggest gripe I had with this game is that there are just too many mechanics and too many block properties which show up suddenly in some puzzles, and unless you have a good memory, remembering those things and using them becomes difficult.”
  • music
    115 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its quality and atmosphere, with many reviewers highlighting its ambient electronica style that enhances the overall experience. While some players noted that the music can become repetitive, it is generally described as soothing and fitting for puzzle-solving, making it enjoyable to listen to during gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's charm and appeal.

    • “The music is extremely well done and remarkably satisfying.”
    • “Yann van der Cruyssen and Morusque have crafted a fine atmosphere with its low-key ambient electronica. The music can be playful, dramatic, mysterious, jaunty, but all in a most relaxing and chill vibe.”
    • “Morusque's soundtrack is great and manages the challenge all puzzle games face, which is to produce tracks that are enjoyable to listen to on a loop, and avoid being tedious or formless.”
    • “The in-game music is fine, but as I usually do, it quickly gets muted in favor of my own choice of music or the radio, but I keep the sound effects as they are unintrusive and add a bit of flavor.”
    • “Music gets a little repetitive sometimes, but it's a great game for just sitting down at the end of the day and solving a level or two.”
    • “If you know me at all, you know I can't stand repetitive puzzler soundtracks.”
  • story
    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is generally considered to be minimal and somewhat disconnected from the gameplay, serving more as a charming backdrop rather than a driving force. While it features a cute narrative about repairing robots and finding mentors, many players feel it is underdeveloped and not essential to the overall experience, allowing them to focus on the engaging puzzles instead. Overall, the story is seen as a light and optional element that adds a bit of charm but lacks depth or significant relevance.

    • “This is a fantastic puzzle game with great music and a warm, subtly told story.”
    • “It had interesting puzzles, a neat soundtrack, and a simple story to tie it all together.”
    • “And the cute story and the likable characters were a treat throughout the game.”
    • “There is something that resembles a story and plot, but ultimately it is just filler.”
    • “It's a fairly vague story because it's scattered into small fragments throughout the game, without enough there to clearly convey what's going on.”
    • “Because the story is so underdeveloped, I don't know if the gameplay is supposed to pertain to anything that takes place or not.”
  • graphics
    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their charm and polish, with many reviewers highlighting the appealing art style and smooth animations. While some noted that the visuals are not the primary focus of puzzle games, they still contribute positively to the overall experience, enhancing gameplay with clear and engaging designs. Overall, the graphics are described as modern, colorful, and well-integrated with the game's mechanics and soundtrack.

    • “As you start the game, the improvement in visuals is immediately obvious - the game has a modern, polished look, and the layouts/animations are very pleasing to the eye.”
    • “This is a fun game with a great graphics style, easy to challenging puzzles, and a good progression both in terms of gameplay mechanics and soundtrack.”
    • “Paired with gorgeous artwork and a lovely soundtrack, this is definitely a game worth adding to your already enormous Steam library.”
    • “But, since they're just vague graphics, they made no sense to me.”
    • “The gameplay visuals are better, while also leaning towards the basic side too.”
    • “[3/10] graphics”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally good, particularly on Linux, but users report various bugs, primarily related to the rewind function, which can lead to glitches such as blocks behaving unexpectedly or failing to revert to their proper states. While these issues can occasionally disrupt gameplay, they are not considered game-breaking, and the infinite undo feature allows players to correct mistakes easily. Overall, the stability is somewhat inconsistent, with the rewind feature being the main source of frustration.

    • “Runs great on Linux.”
    • “Looking at the FAQ, it seems like the devs know the rewind is buggy, but I don't think they're going to fix this particular issue if they haven't by now.”
    • “Slightly buggy: undo would often fail to revert to a proper state, especially when dealing with moving things; once in level 6-3, a blob was accidentally in the wrong spot and I had to restart the level.”
    • “Only downside is that sometimes the engine glitches, especially when rewinding - so that blocks don't end up where they should.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding it clever and enjoyable, particularly through funny references to various media and the amusing "faceblox" elements. Many reviewers noted that the humor contributes to a lighthearted experience, making the game not only engaging but also consistently entertaining. Overall, the combination of humor and clever puzzle design keeps players smiling throughout their gameplay.

    • “Nice and funny puzzle game.”
    • “I always manage to have a smile on my face when playing through it, either it be the satisfaction of solving the puzzles or even just picking up on some of the funny references they have to different games, books, movies, and music!”
    • “Pros: funny, clever, cute, nice graphics, nice music, nice sounds, easy to learn (just 2 mouse buttons) but hard to master (you have to actually think), achievements, steam trade cards, steam workshop (level editor), linux support, faceblox...”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be well-balanced, with quick and smooth movement and an effective undo button that enhances gameplay. While some elements, particularly related to saving golden blocks, can become tedious, the game consistently introduces new ideas and puzzle types, preventing it from feeling monotonous. The engaging soundtrack further contributes to an enjoyable experience, avoiding the pitfalls of repetitiveness.

    • “This is done for the golden blocks in particular and can become tedious as you need to save up previous blocks and you come to know only after you have reached the spot.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is enhanced by Yann van der Cruyssen and Morusque's low-key ambient electronica, which creates a relaxing and chill vibe that is both playful and mysterious. This soundscape complements the simple yet thought-provoking gameplay, allowing players to engage with the puzzle elements without frustration while still encouraging deeper thinking for full completion.

    • “Yann van der Cruyssen and Morusque have crafted a fine atmosphere with its low-key ambient electronica. The music can be playful, dramatic, mysterious, and jaunty, but all in a most relaxing and chill vibe.”
    • “The nice thing about this game is that although the gameplay is simple, it takes the puzzle atmosphere to heart, allowing people to complete levels without much issue, but requiring good thinking to fully complete the game.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been criticized for poor optimization, as users reported significant performance issues, particularly when minimizing the game, which hindered their ability to multitask effectively.

  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability in its story levels, primarily focused on completion and achievements, but players can enjoy over 10 hours of gameplay through the main story. The inclusion of well-designed puzzles adds some replay value for those seeking to complete all challenges. Overall, while the narrative may not encourage multiple playthroughs, the gameplay experience remains engaging.

    • “Some well thought out puzzles, not too easy, not too hard, replayability for completion, would recommend.”
    • “The story levels don't have much replayability, beyond completion and achievements, but you can easily spend 10+ hours in this game just completing the main story.”
