The gameplay features a small grid with various interactive elements, including movable cubes and static pyramids, alongside a few new mechanics that aim to maintain interest. While the level design is generally good, the limited variety of mechanics becomes repetitive over the course of nearly 2000 levels.
“Level design is good, but there aren't enough mechanics to stay fresh for almost 2000 levels.”
“Each level has a relatively small grid with a few pieces on it, cubes that you can move, pyramids that cannot be controlled but need to be pushed off, sand pyramids that crumble when you hit them, and a few other mechanics.”
“A few new mechanics try to keep it fresh, with some success.”

The graphics are praised for their great aesthetic and compatibility with the game's design, enhancing the overall experience. However, users suggest improvements such as additional settings, a fullscreen toggle, and graphics quality options to optimize performance on lower-end computers.
“The music and graphics fit perfectly with the nice game design.”
“Great aesthetic, nice music, and hundreds of levels to play through - so far with a pretty nice difficulty curve.”
“What would make it better: more settings, at least a fullscreen off toggle, and maybe graphics quality settings to make it smoother on low-end computers.”
