What players say

Players praise the checkpoints and color-switching gimmick. They split on difficulty: some find it a good challenge that tests coordination, others say their brain would not work that fast. Several mention the synthwave soundtrack stands out, and many note the game is short but offers more playtime through optional star challenges.
