The monetization strategy of certain developers, particularly Toparcadeapps, Volens Nolens Games, and Enoops, has been criticized as unethical and exploitative, with accusations of creating low-quality shovelware by repurposing existing game templates and assets for profit. This practice is viewed as a cash grab, undermining the integrity of the gaming market by flooding platforms like Steam with subpar products.
“Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
“Toparcadeapps/Volens Nolens Games/Enoops have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.”
“These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being poorly executed, relying on outdated 2D retro pixel art that lacks resolution options and customization. Reviewers note that the visuals contribute to an overall janky experience, further detracting from gameplay.
“Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it's just a badly made 2D retro pixel platformer with a rabbit theme, bad graphics and some seriously floaty, janky controls.”
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

The gameplay has been criticized for being janky and unsatisfying, with a lack of polish in handling and responsiveness that detracts from the overall experience. Many users feel that the control scheme needed more thorough testing and refinement to meet the expectations of experienced gamers.
“The gameplay is very good!”
“It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
“Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing or polish done.”
