Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Game looks very cool, but it's not a very good puzzle game. The puzzles are simultaneously simple, while also very long and complicated. Basically imagine a simple 2d line maze, but with a lot of teleporters and switches. That is…”
“Starts out fun and is definitely clever in some aspects but gets boring way too quickly.”
