    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their cute and welcoming art style, reminiscent of papercraft designs, which enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Players appreciate the visuals for being easy to understand and suitable for children, contributing to a comfortable gaming experience. However, some users noted minor issues with visual cues that could lead to confusion during gameplay.

    • “The game is really aesthetically pleasing and really cute.”
    • “Graphics for this type of game are excellent.”
    • “While I do think most of my pratfalls were based on confusing visual cues and inconsistent bouncing, it may be that not having a jump noise-land noise combination threw me off a little, too.”

    • “Cute graphics, but sadly there are only 2 levels right now.”

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features an intriguing ghost mechanic and a unique body-splitting mechanic that offers potential for non-linear exploration and puzzles, though it currently feels limited. While the movement and controls require improvement, the core platforming experience is enjoyable, enhanced by the etheric projection mechanic. However, the game is short, with only two levels lasting about 15 minutes, and the achievement system needs refinement.

    • “The main mechanic of splitting your body and ghost to traverse different paths has a lot of potential, especially for non-linear exploration and puzzles.”
    • “In that short time, it shows neat mechanics and has great potential for a longer game.”
    • “Game is fun; I like the etheric projection mechanic, thought it was a nice touch.”
    • “Need more work on game control though because the core gameplay is still platforming.”
    • “Only 2 levels, 15 minutes worth of gameplay.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as basic yet enjoyable, complementing the visuals to create a cozy atmosphere. While it serves as the sole audio element, it effectively enhances the overall experience without being intrusive.

    • “The music and visuals bring out a comfy feeling.”
    • “The music is fun, but it's the only sound in the game.”
    • “Basic but unobtrusive music, reasonable and easy to understand graphics, and a cute fat cat to play as.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Ubaste is complemented by its charming papercraft art style, which evokes a sense of warmth and familiarity reminiscent of games like Epistory. Overall, the narrative is engaging and enhances the game's inviting atmosphere.

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model is praised for its absence of microtransactions, loot boxes, and excessive launcher requirements, indicating a player-friendly approach that prioritizes a straightforward gaming experience.

    • “The game is riddled with microtransactions that feel exploitative.”
    • “Loot boxes are everywhere, and they ruin the experience by pushing players to spend more money.”
    • “The monetization model is bloated, making it hard to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to pay.”
