The game is a fun and enjoyable puzzle platformer that doesn't require precision platforming skills, making it accessible for casual players.
The graphics and music are charming, contributing to a pleasant overall experience.
Levels start simple but grow in complexity, providing a satisfying challenge that rewards players for their efforts.

The level design can be frustrating, with poorly placed checkpoints and a reliance on trial and error that can lead to repetitive gameplay.
Collecting gems feels pointless as they do not provide any meaningful rewards or achievements, diminishing the sense of accomplishment.
The character's movement speed, especially when shrunk, is slow and can hinder gameplay, making navigation tedious.

The graphics are described as simple yet charming, featuring a retro pixel aesthetic that is visually pleasing with bright colors. While some players appreciate the art style and its nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic consoles, others find the overall graphical presentation to be basic and lacking in depth, with functional but unremarkable visuals.

- “Graphically it's passable, but when it comes to gameplay, it's not very good. The controls are pretty dull and clunky, the speed of the game itself is slow, and overall it just feels far too basic of a platformer where nothing really shines or even attempts to.”

The gameplay features a size-changing mechanic that allows players to navigate puzzle levels, but reviews indicate it suffers from clunky controls and a slow pace, making it tedious and frustrating for many. While some appreciate the charming art style and nostalgic feel, overall, the gameplay is considered basic and lacking in depth, with little to distinguish it from other platformers.

- “Amr is an amateurish platformer where you must use a size-changing mechanic to navigate puzzle levels.”
- “Graphically it's passable, but when it comes to gameplay, it's not very good. The controls are pretty dull and clunky, the speed of the game itself is slow, and overall it just feels far too basic of a platformer where nothing really shines or even attempts to.”
