Players appreciate the fluid movement and creative visual elements, although some express a desire for improved graphics settings. Overall, the level design and artwork contribute positively to the gaming experience.

- “I will say they did some cool things with visuals in this game which made it feel different from previous games.”
- “They did a good job with the level design and artwork.”
- “And compared to other puzzle games, this game actually has an aesthetic the player can get engrossed by, so being driven to break the immersion is particularly unfortunate.”
