Went back to this after playing Öoo, and it's just as brilliant. Nama Takahashi is the master of taking a mechanic to its absolute limit. There's no filler here. I think I still prefer Öoo, but you can't go wrong playing either one.

Great puzzle game. Fully completed in roughly 4 hours, and throughly enjoyable and engaging throughout. I got stumped in a few sections, but never felt like the puzzle was insurmountable, and eventually worked things out.
This is such a lovely puzzle platformer which wrings every ounce out of its central mechanic. The game so elegantly teaches you how to solve puzzles and then use that knowledge to help you advance into the areas you were previously unable to solve because you hadn't been taught a game concept yet. Most metroidvanias are about unlocking areas because you receive a powerup, but in this game, your knowledge gained through play is what unlocks each new path. The other thing I appreciate is how the game really forces you to sit with a puzzle and play with it until you figure it out (and the levels don't let you dawdle around and pace, which very little backtracking whatsoever) Short and sweet and incredibly rewarding to play through!

It's a cute little platformer. The only annoyances I would say I have is that some of the collectibles (the last skill upgrade, and some of the color patterns) are quite non-intuitive to discover.
An exceptionally well-designed puzzle-platformer. As with NamaTakahashi's latest game Öoo, it takes quite a simple mechanic and then explores everything you can do with it, teaching you solely through the level design. It's full of really clever moments, and it'll stick with you for a long time!
Very good
I love so many things about this game. The functional and stylish visuals paired with the super tight and well designed gameplay makes it an instant classic for me. Minimalistic game design at it's finest!
Fun game! It's quite easy to pick up, and quite easy to finish if you have experience with platformers. There are a few tricks you have to realize to finish 100%. Not a very long game (3 hours for experienced puzzler/player), but definitely worth your time.
A platformer in which your head is electrically charged and can activate various puzzle elements. You can do so via your body or by throwing your head to activate things at a distance. This leads to a lot of interesting puzzles and hidden mechanics.
