Overall I've enjoyed playing it and It's got a nice art style and the music is good too.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The secret of the title is that it gets everything right for a puzzle game: a simple control system, an excellently thought-out learning curve (basically, the first 10 levels are a fun tutorial which teaches you how to play and gives you the chance to learn the importance of "landing" on the right side of the cube), a very solid gameplay mechanic and A LOT of levels, which become a real challenge for your brain (but not before level 14) and a bait for your ego, "because I can get 3 stars in that damned level!"

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is nice, but it gets repetitive after a few minutes.
