What players say

82% of 17,757 reviews are positive · 59% of 94 in the last 30 days

Players praise the coordination and precise descriptions required to solve the tougher puzzles, along with the music and voice acting. The most common complaint is that some puzzles have unclear goals, weak feedback, or trial-and-error solutions. Players also report occasional network issues and bugs that can block progress, plus missing color-blind support.
