Reception
Philip J. Reed of Nintendo Life gave the game's 3DS version a perfect score, calling it an "absolutely brilliant experience" with a "well-managed learning curve". Mike Rose of Pocket Gamer was also positive on the game, describing it as elegant but with a hardcore level of difficulty. Edge magazine, however, rated the game more poorly, calling it "accomplished and inventive" but overall uninteresting and "missing its heart".
