The verdict
A beautiful, wordless steampunk magnet-puzzle platformer with clever mechanics, but one-hit-death bosses and slippery controls frustrate many. Skip it if you dislike trial-and-error precision.
Great for
Players who love atmospheric Metroidvania-lite puzzle platformers and don't mind trial-and-error challenge
Main risk
One-hit-death, trial-and-error bosses and floaty controls can turn the game into frustration.

“A clever puzzle-platformer ruined by five-minute-long, one-hit-death, pattern-memorization bosses that infuriate and only serve to pad the game length.”
