I don't think it's as bad as what others are saying. What might help is to kill the music but keep the sound. The levels are a bit short but overall, it's a good game.
Reviews for "Theia"
Pretty fantastic
I looked at some reviews and didn't have half the problems people keep complaining about. Love the art, love the music, and it's challenging. It has flaws (like the rocks being annoying as hell to navigate around/push) but other than that I didn't have any problems at all. My movement wasn't laggy and the screen fit just fine in my browser window. It was also challenging, which is something I can appreciate in a puzzle game, rather than condemn. Thank you! :D

Very boring and frustating gameplay. Even the bare music itself gives the feeling of frustation, so I guess your choise matches this tiring failure perfectly.
Game itself would've been funnier with more controllable movement and maybe a bit larger hitbox to the rocks for being able to like.. push them?
Very nice artwork, very poor gameplay.
I'll say the positives first: this game looks amazing. The animations are really slick, the art direction is fantastic, and the presentation is great.
Now, about the gameplay, which has severe flaws. You seem to have chosen a layering technique which is cool, but very buggy. Since the rocks are flat, knowing when you are in between them is almost impossible since they flatten the view of you. Also, when I was in between two, I had to shuffle for about a minute to actually be able to walk out.
The enemies look cool, but attack way to far. I spent so much trial and error on this game that it wasn't even funny. Another problem is your difficulty curve, which is wack. First level shows you how to move around, 2nd shows you how to dig, and then the third one is extremely difficult for a person who has just learned how to play your game.
Some of the angles you have chosen to display your art at are terrible. The game's dimensions are also pretty big, I had to scroll up and down to see my player, and zooming out with my browser made all text on the page unviewable. The gameplay feels sluggish in movement and a bit wonky.
Sorry.
Can be
Decent game but I didn't like it. Stiff camera angle was annoying and like others mentioned - movement needs fixing.
