I think Schein got a bit too much unfair criticism - note how many reviews complain about the precision platformer genre rather than the game itself. That being said, the game's not impressive: the aesthetic can leave a bit to be desired, the environments are all pretty samey (or consistent) and I agree that the voice acting could be better (even though it did add flavor to the game), to the point I couldn't help but laugh out loud at a specific line near the end. The story is concise and I haven't found any secrets. BUT. As a puzzle precision platformer, it delivered. The mechanics are straightforward and worked pretty well. The difficulty of both the platforming and the puzzles does not go wild at any point, and it kept the right balance between being challenging but also fun, without turning that frenetic or repetitive thanks to the fact that you'll have to hit the brakes and give some thought to the puzzles before taking action. The progression is linear but you can easily revisit previous levels in case you want to hunt for all the collectibles. It's fairly short and it didn't overstay its welcome.

As other reviews have already said, this game basically requires pressing button combos (jumps / switching colors / lights) with very precise timing. Some of the early puzzles are fun but it quickly just turns into a repetitive stress injury waiting to happen. If you don't care about potentially getting a RSI and enjoy both logic puzzles and high difficulty revolving around precise timings, then it might be for you. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it to others tho. In addition, some of the levels are very poorly optimized, the "Red Path" level in particular but there were several others (mostly after that level). As pointed out in one of the other reviews as well as in one of the steam discussion threads, the general performance of the game can get laggy / low fps / low framerate after some period of time, generally after the game has been running for 30-60 minutes. Exiting out of the game and restarting it can temporarily fix this but it is annoying to have to do this, especially for what is effectively a 2D/3.5D side-scroller and my system being able to run much more demanding games without any issues. If this game had been designed with more focus on the logic puzzle aspect b…
