Gameplay is generally engaging and fun, with a variety of new mechanics introduced throughout the game that keep players interested.

“It did a good job of progressively introducing new mechanics and finished with an incredibly complex test of your skills.”
“The mechanics are easy to grasp (especially for someone who has played this game's predecessor), and utilized well enough that they present a reasonable challenge in the later levels, without pressuring the player to fear failure.”

“For a dollar, I can't really complain, but sometimes mechanics aren't taught to you, and it can be difficult to understand in later levels when you go really deep.”
“This one is actually a bit harder than the first game and introduces other puzzle mechanics, but still only has 40 levels.”
