I honestly didn't enjoy my time with Aqorel too much and I feel a bit bad about it. I can see the passion that went into making the game, but ultimately I was happy when it was finally over. The game is really slow and on top of that, the puzzles are often quite tedious and involve a lot of back and forth to the point where I already solved the puzzle in my head but had to still execute it which, more often than not, just took too much time. I also found the throwing mechanic to be a bit janky, but that could very well be because I played it on the Steam Deck.

Also, I am still a bit confused about the theme of the game. It is a game about mixing colours, but also about food and they don't really go well together. Why am I colouring an orange? I feel like concentrating on one of those themes could have helped the game.
