The game looks very unusual, gameplay is enjoyable, and the music suits just fine! The game is not very long, but some moments were a bit challenging for me (the ending of 'Elude' part in particular)... I wish they had some achievement awarded for finishing the game!.. :) The game seems to be quite playable on Steam Deck! :)

This was an amazing experience. It looks like a simple game at first glance, but it's more than that: the levels can get pretty hard and enjoyable, but what really takes this a step further is the soundtrack. Christopher Larkin really made some amazing, emotional, delicate, and rich music for this game. Did I get emotional over a square and some circles? Yes. Do I reccomend the game? Of course I do. It's so cheap, and if you divide the gameplay into more session it'll be more enjoyable in my opinion
