Pros
Pro Easy controls
There is no interactive button to control all one needs to do is walk around in order to solve the games puzzles, such as walking over particular tiles or bumping into objects.
Pro Interesting mix of architecture and colors
The game feature different areas that have completely different feels to them due to the use of architecture and colors. One are may look like a temple and use the color blue a lot while another may use modern architecture of concrete blocks and use the color red a lot. This makes for areas that are not only different in looks but gives a sense of exploration as you never know what will be next.
Pro Art in the shape of a game
Once the player answers random questions and the mountain is formed all that is left to do is observe the mountain and what happens on it. More an art piece than a game this makes for an ambient experience that can be relaxing.
Cons
Con Story feels flat
The game really focuses on ambiance and looks more so than story, which means if one wants an entertaining story this may not be the game for them.
Con No controls
Which basically means this is more a screen saver than a game. There is nothing to control, no interaction at all other than tones one keyboard will play when keys are pressed.
