Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustration and appreciation, with many players noting a lack of direction and coherence in mechanics, leading to clunky and inconsistent experiences. While some enjoy the diversity of mechanics across different worlds and the puzzle-solving elements, others criticize the slow pace and poor physics, which detract from overall enjoyment. The game is described as atmospheric but ultimately suffers from a lack of engaging gameplay beyond basic navigation.
“The area as a whole is atmospheric, and the gameplay makes me use my head.”
“There are 5 different worlds, each world has its own mechanics - I really like this diversity of game mechanics - and every world has different graphics, sounds, and gimmicks to offer.”
“Nice puzzle solving and some unique mechanics.”
“The game is slow and the gameplay feels clunky, resulting in frustration and boredom rather than frantic fun.”
“Gameplay and physics are terrible: the ball keeps slipping, some things can be pushed for no reason, and moving a ball straight across horizontal rails makes the ball bounce sideways.”
“There's no direction on the levels; you have to figure them out from the start, with little introduction in terms of mechanics.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it relaxing and atmospheric, effectively complementing various settings like a desolate future or medieval dungeons. However, some users noted issues with the music's polish, particularly the repetitive restarts upon dying, which can be frustrating. Overall, while the soundtrack enhances the experience, there are calls for improvement in its execution.
“The beautiful formations and very calming music not only fit the area it's in, but are also great on their own merits.”
“It's a nice setting, chill music, looks like a desolate robot future, which complements the electricity gimmick nicely.”
“The music is so relaxing, one of my favorites in the game.”
“It could be way more polished; the music restarting all the time when you die will drive you mad.”
“There isn't even any music.”
“If anything, the soundtrack is okay and the game controls fine, but there was a severe lack of gameplay and things to do beyond going from point A to point B - like no jumping, at least that I could find with my controller.”
