The gameplay is centered around a 2D puzzle/platformer experience that features innovative teleportation and gravity mechanics, providing a fresh and engaging challenge. Players appreciate the gradual difficulty curve and the introduction of new tools that enhance the puzzle-solving experience, although some find the transition to later levels jarring due to a shift towards more reflex-based challenges. Overall, the game is praised for its accessibility, variety, and the rewarding "aha!" moments it offers throughout its levels.
- “Throughout the game, it gives variation to the mechanics with new tools, keeping the game fresh and making you rethink the way you approach puzzles!”
- “It follows the best game design a puzzle can have: make the mechanics easy to grasp and then push their applications and interactions to the limits.”
- “Overall, I had a positive experience with the game: very easy to pick up and play, it became challenging over time without getting frustrating or punishing, and there's a decent amount of variety in gameplay mechanics.”
- “Definitely recommend this, because there are a good few hours of really entertaining, solid puzzle levels full of 'aha!' moments - but I have to say that after the gameplay drastically changes at the start of the 'city' levels, I didn't enjoy it in the slightest.”
- “It forces such a shift from the methodical approach that could be taken with all the levels up to that point, jumping from puzzles which you can sit thinking about for 10 minutes and then it clicks and you know exactly what to do, to instead having immediately obvious solutions requiring (even with the very necessary addition of the 'slow mo' mechanic) precision, twitch-reflex mouse movements.”
- “The early levels are static, letting you grasp the mechanics of navigating the stage via relative positioning.”

The graphics are praised for their charming and minimalist aesthetic, featuring fluid designs and earthy tones that create a unique visual experience. While not as striking as some other titles, the well-executed 3D graphics display beautifully on modern systems and complement the game's interesting mechanics. Overall, the art style is considered simple yet superb, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The 3D graphics look great, and the game displays very well on modern systems.”
- “The aesthetic is minimalistic, with a lot of flat colors and an overall earthy tone. It's not strikingly beautiful like The Witness or Journey, but it's fairly unique and pleasant to look at.”
- “Interesting mechanics and a very simple yet beautiful art style.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it sparse and lacking in variety, leading to a tendency to mute it after a short period. While some appreciate the relaxing background ambiance, others feel it lacks the power and engagement needed to enhance the overall experience. Overall, there is a consensus that improvements in the soundtrack could significantly elevate the game's appeal.
- “Good relaxing background music.”
- “This game could be more interesting if they can add more music and sound.”
- “The only negative thing for me is the soundtrack, which I feel needs a bit more power.”
- “The music is a bit sparse; it sounds okay the first 30 minutes you hear it, but you'll most likely just mute it and listen to your own music or a podcast.”
- “With a little more variety in music and set dressing, maybe an extra challenge mode or user-generated content, this could be a solid game with a lot of replayability.”

The story aspect of the game is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for more engaging narratives, characters, and stylistic variations to enhance their experience. While the game is well-made, it feels shallow and may only appeal to those looking for a simple, hands-on activity rather than a rich storytelling experience.
- “That said, there's little to no story, and sound effects aren't important to puzzle solving, so this might be right up your alley if you need something to keep your hands busy.”
- “It's all nice and well-made but rather shallow and bland. I would like to see more elements like story, characters, and variations in style to become more interested.”
