Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's amazing how the main mechanic can be used in so many ways and each new puzzle doesn't feel bloated or extensively convoluted to keep the difficulty curve growing, even the latter ones are elegant, which is a huge achievement.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack also fits the aesthetic of the game very well and it's a banger, it's a very fun soundtrack.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
ElecHead uses minimalist pixel graphics with a strong retro influence, but its simplicity serves an important practical purpose.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty ramps up well, and the solutions are satisfying when you figure them out, but for seasoned puzzle-platform lovers, this game may leave you wanting more.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fun way to exercise the brain, and a cool story with minimal effort needed to build the plot.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Played perfectly on a Steam Deck; I'd probably recommend it for anyone who's looking for light games to play while traveling or just looking to curl up with something for a few hours.
