The gameplay is generally smooth and visually appealing, with an eerie atmosphere that enhances the experience. While it starts off somewhat clunky, it improves significantly as players unlock more advanced skills, adding depth and complexity to the mechanics. However, the game suffers from frequent auto shutdowns after short play sessions, and some mechanics, like the freeze power, can feel overly constrained.

- “So yes, it starts off a bit clunky, but as you obtain more skills (game mechanics) it improves greatly.”
- “The mechanics of the game are really solid, and this is where the game shines.”
- “The main problem is that this game will auto shut down after like 10-30 minutes of gameplay.”
- “The only sour part of the mechanics, and not necessarily a negative, is that the freeze power usage felt forced at specific parts.”
- “The mechanics start with basic skills, such as double jumping and dashes, and evolve as you play, adding more to the game's level complexity by allowing you to blink through walls or freeze all enemies for a while and some other stuff.”
