The gameplay features a straightforward puzzle-solving mechanic that remains largely consistent across different modes, such as endless and time-attack. While the base mechanics are adequate, they lack the depth needed to foster long-term engagement.
“While there are a few different modes such as endless and time attack, the fairly simple puzzle-solving mechanic does not change drastically throughout.”
“The base mechanic is fine, but definitely not enough to get me addicted.”
“It's just gameplay.”
