140 is the type of game that feels timeless and comes out of the gate as a very complete and succinct experience. The presentation does a lot with very little. A large part of the appeal is that it is so simple -- it uses geometric shapes, the color palette, music and audio cues to great effect. There's challenge, but it's pretty forgiving with lots of checkpoints. If you meet the game on its terms without setting much expectations you'll have a great time. And it's the sort of experience that you can have 10 years between playing and it still resonates the same way.
