Over my time with this game I probably had the most mixed feelings I've ever had with a puzzler. I would very quickly and constantly fall in and out of favour with this thing, where I would find a puzzle absolutely obnoxious or just not fun to execute, and then suddenly it would either click back into place in my mind or, more often, I would put it down and come back later and it would be more palatable.
Needless to say I didn't love it, but I am glad to say that I wound up finishing the game on a positive note. There's a ton of polish on display here and the metroidvania-adjascent approach to progress and new puzzle introductions made the pacing engaging enough that I was never too frustrated.
With the very low price of admission (even lower at time of writing thanks to a steam sale) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to fans of other space-bending puzzle games a-la Superliminal. It never fully clicked in for me, but I can tell it will for a lot of others.
