[3] Overall, Perspective was very well received by critics, who singled out the unique game mechanics and level design as strong features.

In 3D mode, the player can move and change the field of view but the avatar is fixed in 3D space.

These challenges ranged from getting the core technology working to designing the game in such a way that carefully balanced between difficulty and approachability.

[8] Indie Game Magazine praised it as "mind-blowing" and "excellent",[3] and Blame It On The Voices called it "revolutionary".

[9] Rock, Paper, Shotgun called it "remarkably clever[,] not just in the idea itself ... but in the construction of the puzzles which make use of that concept.

[7] Gamezebo gave the game 5 out of 5, stating "the controls are spot on, the puzzles are consistently glorious, and it's all wrapped up in a neat little package.
