What players say

94% of 8,292 reviews are positive · 92% of 118 in the last 30 days

Players praise the nested-world puzzles, alien visuals, and music. The most common complaint is that many puzzles feel too simple or repetitive, while moving orbs and backtracking can become tedious. Some players also find the guardian fights out of place.
