Some of 's creators have talked about the challenges they faced when developing the game, and how they pulled off the impressive technical feat of making the entire game world physics-driven.

A fun by-product of this was the developers accidentally discovering multiple solutions to their own puzzles, rather than the ones they originally intended, a mechanic that players also appreciated upon launch as it gave them more creative freedom to think up their own unique, spontaneous solutions.
