The gameplay features a well-crafted puzzle design with a small grid and various interactive elements, such as movable cubes and different types of pyramids. While the introduction of new mechanics adds some freshness, the overall variety may not sustain interest over nearly 2000 levels. Nonetheless, the game is praised for its satisfying mechanics and pacing.
- “Just a really well crafted and satisfying puzzle game with great mechanics and pacing.”
- “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.”
