What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the core portal-teleportation concept but find the execution problematic across multiple aspects. The main frustrations include forced alternating portal types without player choice, sluggish physics that feel unresponsive, progression locked to one level at a time creating unavoidable dead ends, and technical issues like objects reaching infinite speeds or disappearing off-screen, particularly on Linux. While some players enjoy it as a casual kids' puzzle game, most feel the game needs significant refinement in its mechanics and physics to match its promising premise.
A 2D physics puzzle game where the main concept is shooting portals that allow teleporting (the influence is obvious but this goes to its own direction). There is possibly a potentially interesting game hidden somewhere here, but at the moment the execution makes this mostly frustrating: such a basic concept as deciding which type of portal you are shooting is missing, you always alternate between the two, and since they nevertheless require some positioning, the game becomes very annoying very quickly. And the swimming-in-jelly-physics do not exactly help. Only one level is unlocked at a time so if you get stuck, no dice. And early on I already got to a level where I pretty much figured what I am supposed to do but with this execution trying to get this done would just take grinding to hit exactly the right pixels at exactly the right moments to get further, and frankly I'm not convinced it's worth the effort.1 found this helpful
The idea of this game is nice, but the physics and gameplay is quite bad (at least on Linux). The pod reaches infinite speed upon bouncing a few times against some rocks and can disappear off screen. This renders the game unplayable.1 found this helpful
