Aqorel is a very pleasant game to look at. It has a papery filter over everything, there are nice physics with the objects you can play around with, and the color palette is great.
However, it's not that nice to... listen to... The music is composed of very short loops with jarring instruments and unmelodic riffs.
The puzzles of the game itself ramp up in difficulty very slowly, and never quite reach a point of being cleverly challenging. The hardest levels were the ones where it looked like there were a ton of things going on, while in reality there is a pretty linear path to the goal.
It's a short game, and none of the puzzles were outright bad, just sometimes too simple or too much in favor of adding complexity without driving towards that satisfying cleverness of a good puzzle.
