If I can only say one thing about this game, I will say that the difficulty curve starts already high. It is a platformer + puzzle game combination, where your most valuable asset is your ability to be able to switch gears at a drop of a dime, since the first non-tutorial levels already require you to do what the developers call a "backwards jump" - you need to jump, teleport and immediate change directions. The core mechanic of the game is its reflection mechanic, which swaps you with a blue dot on the opposite side of the screen. This reflection cannot happen when the dot is "obstructed", meaning that part of the puzzle element becomes how to get the dot unobstracted in order to move. This is how you climb through structures and phase through walls and ceilings, which requires very fast reflexes in order to reflect with the dot. Graeldon's video probably makes a better job of showing what this means. It is one of those games where you can get stuck in the tutorial, namely on the sixth tutorial stage. A trick I found to nail that stage (which introduces phasing through ceilings) is to press the jump and reflect button twice at the same time, though already in the first couple of…

Liked: - Simple, intuitive mechanics - Puzzles grow in complexity in a natural way - Mechanics are thoroughly explored but not worn out Disliked: - Some puzzles seem to rely on very tight platforming - Hints aren't especially helpful

good

I had spare 2$ in my steam wallet and ended up buying this with it, did not disappoint, though i doubt my solution to level 21 was intended

A pretty good puzzle game. Certainly confusing at first. It supports a controller but the default button mapping made it almost impossible to pull off the needed mechanics, so I advise playing on keyboard. The levels are well-made and some are quite hard too. On one or two levels had finicky solutions and I'm still not sure whether they are the intended paths. My only complaints are that the music is very annoying/distracting and that the mechanics should have been introduced more slowly because the early levels already need you to break your fingers sometimes. Still for how cheap it is, i can easily recommend it to anyone.

Somewhat-uncommon mechanic used exceptionally in really well designed puzzles
