Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The early gameplay is enjoyable enough, but later sections abandon the casual puzzle elements to push timed and precision platforming.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from one or two bad levels that have sections where progression feels random or is especially unforgiving, the gameplay and puzzles are well-designed and enjoyable.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The cartoony graphics are great, and all the different blocks and terrains you will be exploring are interesting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The plinky-plunky soundtrack is cute and engaging, putting you into a puzzly mindset, though the over-reliance on deep bass meant I had to turn down my speakers whenever I started the game.
