  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is engaging and entertaining, offering around 3.5 hours of well-designed puzzles and mechanics that challenge players. New mechanics, such as the "solid eraser," add variety and encourage creative problem-solving, while the overall experience remains reminiscent of the first game with its intricate traps and navigation challenges.

    • “Great story, great puzzles, and great mechanics.”
    • “The puzzles are fantastic, and the mechanics to solve them are fun.”
    • “I especially liked the 'solid eraser' mechanic where you 'erase' soil with ease, which led me to come up with some surprising solutions!”
    • “Similar to the first game, the puzzles are neat and well designed but pretty difficult, with similar traps and mechanics to dig holes and draw a path for your character to navigate and liquid physics.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game rely heavily on outdated retro pixel art, which many players find lacks depth and quality. While there are resolution options available, they merely upscale the simplistic 2D assets without enhancing the overall visual experience. Overall, the graphics are considered lackluster, with limited options for improvement.

    • “Good graphics, music, funny puzzle.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and mood, enhancing the overall experience. However, multiple users have expressed a desire for a separate music volume slider to customize their audio settings.

    • “The soundtrack is very good, the puzzles are very interesting, I recommend.”
    • “Great puzzle game, all levels are great challenges and the art and music are quite moody.”
    • “Good graphics, music, and funny puzzles.”
    • “There is no separate music volume slider, which makes it difficult to adjust the music to my liking.”
    • “The absence of a separate music volume slider is frustrating and limits my ability to customize the audio experience.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised as a strong follow-up to the first installment, featuring engaging twists and new tools that enhance gameplay. Reviewers highlight the combination of a compelling narrative, challenging puzzles, and effective mechanics, contributing to an overall positive experience.

    • “A good follow-up to the first; I like the twist in the story and the new tools to use.”
    • “Great story, great puzzles, and great mechanics.”
    • “The game has a compelling story.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by the main character's amusing immunity to single drops of acid, which leads to the comical (and sometimes frustrating) popping of numerous aliens. Players appreciate the combination of good graphics, music, and funny puzzles that enhance the overall comedic experience.

    • “The main character is fortunately immune to single drops of acid, but it hilariously (or frustratingly) pops aliens by the dozen.”
    • “Good graphics, music, and funny puzzles.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized due to the presence of suspicious reviews, predominantly in broken English or Russian, which appear shortly after launch and suggest a pattern of fake endorsements for low-quality asset flips and scams. This raises concerns about the legitimacy of the game's financial practices and the integrity of its review system.

    • “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with prices that are far too high for the content offered.”
    • “It seems like the game is designed to push players towards microtransactions rather than providing a fair experience.”
    • “The constant barrage of ads and prompts to spend money really detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, as it inflates playtime and detracts from the enjoyment of certain levels.

    • “This inflated the playtime and made some levels tedious rather than a joy.”
