Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It takes the simple idea of lighting up floors/walls/ceilings by touching them, throws in a few special tile types such as one-way paths and elevators, and with just the abilities to jump and teleport gives you quite a bit of variety in puzzle design.
40 of 259 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
At $5, you're getting about 3-4 hours worth of puzzle-platforming gameplay in a calming atmosphere.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Due to this as well as the fact it isn't always clear where you are meant to go to make progress based on the abilities you currently have access to, I found myself exploring a few rooms in and then, if I was unescapably stuck or forced to backtrack just to get back to where I was before, I'd quit to the main menu without saving, then reload my save.

Audio

A metroidvania without guns and an interesting sound design.
