The gameplay is a mix of interesting scenarios and classic platforming elements, but it suffers from repetitiveness and poor hitboxes. While players appreciate the strategic aspects and the character's agility, the bland bosses and one-shot mechanics can lead to frustration. Overall, it offers an engaging experience for a short duration, especially considering its price.
“Pixel 2D shooter with interesting gameplay and scenario.”
“One of the best platformers, which corresponds to all the canon of classic platformers. I would like to note the gameplay and the price.”
“Repetitive gameplay, bad hitboxes; the only thing that can challenge you here is one-shot bombs that you sometimes have to wait to get rid of. Bosses are bland and boring and seem like they were just designed to waste your time because they all one-shot you and you have to start over from the beginning.”
“The rest of the gameplay is simple, but there is some room for strategy.”
“At first glance, the game is not remarkable compared to other similar ones, but I was pleasantly engaged for an hour of gameplay.”

The music in the game features an immersive clockwork soundtrack that enhances the adrenaline of epic boss fights, though some players find it overly loud and lacking in variety. While the soundtrack is praised for its quality, a few users feel that additional background music would improve the overall experience.

“It is incredibly loud, with your only in-game option being to mute the music.”
