Only play if you enjoy a REALLY slow burn.

The game has a glacial pace, even on the '2x speed' setting, and the slow pace extends past the 'loop' gameplay.

The resource requirements to progress in the town (and unlock new mechanics) are so high that you'll be playing for hours between seeing new mechanics. The 'loop' part of the game has a 2x speed option, but it doesn't speed up the combat scenes, which is what you'll mostly be staring at. I played for a long time but I feel like I should have seen far more of what the game has to offer.

The core idea is really original and cool. It's like a tower defence game where the goal is to let the moving thing through instead of stopping it. I'm sure if I could just have everything unlocked I'd enjoy it a lot more just trying to get further in the loops and exploring all of the tiles and mechanics. Maybe it gets really fun at the 15 hour mark or something, but as it stands it's just too frustratingly slow for me. I tried giving it a decent go, and I was enjoying some of the time I spent, but every time a loop ended and I didn't unlock anything new I just felt like I'd wasted my time.

The art is absolutely fantastic though. It's got an -amazing- mood to it.
