Just finished the game and it is quite great. While the physics suffer the same problem a lot of unix-based games have (especially on the magnetism and magnetized objects that fly at random sometimes), the game is quite solid in its premise and execution. The backstory is "told" through background animations, imagery and collectable items scattered through the map, while the story itself is shown rather than told, as there is little to no text in this game. All in all it is a very good story, reminiscent to what Journey presented. The puzzles make good use of the magnetic instruments one gathers metroidvania style, and while there are some whose success relies more on trial and repetition (mostly due to the above mentioned physics), all in all they are a good challenge, if very frustrating at times, especially the boss battles, some of which could have benefited from a mid battle checkpoint (but that might be laziness speaking).
