The gameplay is rooted in classic puzzle mechanics, featuring elements like box-pushing and character collaboration, which some players find overused. However, the introduction of new mechanics as the game progresses keeps it engaging, despite a slower pace that encourages logical thinking. Players may experience frustration with jumping mechanics and frequent deaths, reminiscent of traditional puzzle games where restarts are common.
“The wonderful thing about this game so far is that new mechanics keep opening up as you go along.”
“Because you need to think logically, the speed of the gameplay is sometimes slow, but I would say it's perfect.”
“Each puzzle takes place on a single screen and has a kind of sokoban-style gameplay.”
“Expect to die many times due to bad jumping mechanics, especially when standing in mud/quicksand.”
“I was expecting Adventures of Lolo gameplay, where restarts were expected but you weren't punished.”
“Each puzzle takes place on a single screen and has a kind of Sokoban-style gameplay.”
