What players say
Players praise the creative puzzle design and distinctive light-trail mechanic, but note the combat is simple and enemy variety is low. Boss fights divide opinion: some feel they are well-designed, others call the final boss rush a chaotic mess. The game is short and linear, with a few typos and tiny UI text that can be a pain on the Steam Deck.
