- The concept of a platformer where you only have 5 seconds to complete each level is intriguing and provides a test of skill and speed.
- The game is fun and can be enjoyed as a quick time-waster, with some players finding it challenging yet rewarding.
- Despite its simplicity and short length, many players found it enjoyable and worth the low price.
- The controls are described as floaty and slippery, which can hinder gameplay and make it frustrating.
- Dying in a level has no real consequences, as it simply resets the timer, which diminishes the challenge.
- The game lacks variety in levels and can feel repetitive, with some players noting that it can be completed very quickly.

The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced action but is hindered by slippery controls, a lack of variety in level design, and a frustrating mechanic that forces players to restart the entire run if a timer expires. Additionally, the absence of controller support and the limited number of levels contribute to an overall mediocre experience, making it feel more like a budget title.
“Just non-stop fast gameplay.”
“The gameplay is just okay, but the other factors drag it down.”
“Where the game falls short though is no controller support, very slippery controls, lack of quality levels or variety in the designs, and a terrible mechanic of starting over from the beginning if the 5-second timer expires (it really should just restart the level like when you die, but no, you have to start the whole run over again).”
“Okay, so even though it's not even remotely difficult, having only 40 levels makes zero sense, and there are some very questionable gameplay decisions. 5.0 is just a cheap game that you can pick up with that last remaining Steam wallet balance.”
