- Charming art and story, along with a good soundtrack, enhance the overall enjoyment.
- The game offers a good level of challenge and replayability, with a randomly generated parkour area and a dev room for additional content.
- Hitboxes can be inconsistent, leading to frustrating moments when interacting with enemies and blocks.
- The difficulty spikes in certain areas can feel unfair, particularly in 'Hard Mode' with specific challenges that rely on precise timing.
- Level design could be improved, as some areas feel randomly placed and may lead to confusion or empty rooms during gameplay.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to frustrating mechanics like failing to break blocks when hitting them at their corners, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to unnecessary repetition.
“While I can overlook failing to an enemy because I touched the edge of their sprite, which only happens a few times, not being able to break blocks because I hit them at their side corners gets tedious.”

“Repetitive grinding for levels and items takes away from the overall experience, making it feel like a never-ending task.”
