The puzzles are very interesting from the design standpoint - so many original and interesting ideas built on such a simple concept. But solving them isn't really all that fun. Most of the challenge came almost exclusively from the fact that I forgot about one of the mechanics or just plain didn't know about it. It's also a bit too short.
The art and animations are gorgeous. The story is told in such an interesting and original way that it makes the game worth it just for that. I also like how unconventional it is for a video game - I feel like every person might understand it differently, as there's plenty of symbolism involved, which is still pretty uncommon (unless we're talking about something like Milk outside a bag of milk(...) which to me is just completely incoherent - Gorogoa actually comes through as much more sensible, naturalistic and relatable to an average person).
