Very positive on Steam
“Beautiful, wonderfully designed, thoughtful and thought-provoking…”
10/10 · Official Xbox Magazine “One of the biggest treats I have had all year…”
9/10 · God is a Geek “Precise, taxing and faintly adorable, it's the One's secret platforming weapon. Got a sneering Nintendo fan coming over? Show them this thing and their happy, colourful brains will be blown into rainbow chunks.”
