Accessibility Notes
When you complete a level, a white flash indicates progression onto the next level.
Some objects are attached to chains in such a way that when you slice them they swing. In these scenarios you sometimes need to make the fraction fall at certain items so that it lands in the right spot, which can take a fair bit of precision.
You can easily restart any level, although there is a white flash when you do this.
Your character always moves forwards when possible, meaning navigation isn't a concern.
You can mute the audio, but cannot adjust its volume.
