The game features a unique combination of platforming and shooting mechanics, providing a fresh challenge for players who enjoy ultra-hard platformers.
The art style and music create an immersive atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience of navigating through the game's levels.
Many players find the game rewarding as they improve their skills, with tight controls that allow for precise movement once mastered.

The controls are poorly designed, with no option to customize key bindings or use a controller, leading to frustration during gameplay.
The game suffers from a lack of polish, including inconsistent hitboxes and unclear mechanics, which can make it feel unfair and confusing.
Long respawn animations and disappearing checkpoints contribute to a frustrating experience, especially in a game that relies heavily on trial and error.

The gameplay is characterized by a steep difficulty curve with minimal introductory levels, leaving players to grapple with poorly explained mechanics despite the presence of a tutorial. While it offers tight, fast-paced platforming reminiscent of games like Super Meat Boy, it lacks the humor and charm of its predecessor, appealing primarily to fans of ultra-hard twitchy platformers. Overall, the game delivers on its promise of challenging gameplay, but may frustrate those seeking clearer guidance on its mechanics.
- “So if you are in love with the gameplay of ultra hard twitchy platformers, you'll like this.”
- “Certainly delivers on its promise of tight, fast-paced gameplay... definitely on the hard side, but if that's what you're into then go for it!”
- “Very similar to Super Meat Boy in terms of gameplay, but far more serious and doesn't have the fun and funny tone that Super Meat Boy had.”
- “The game instantly starts with a high difficulty with no introduction levels or sections for new mechanics.”
- “A lot of the game mechanics weren't explained, although there is a tutorial.”
- “The tutorial explains the mechanics, but not well.”

The graphics of the game are a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the beautiful artwork and immersive atmosphere, while others criticize the minimalist and spartan design as lazy. The 2D visuals evoke a serious, ancient Greek theme, but some reviewers feel that the reliance on 2D graphics in 2019 is a missed opportunity for more advanced visuals. Overall, the aesthetics contribute positively to the game's ambiance, despite the divided opinions on their execution.
- “I love the beautiful artwork and the well conjured atmosphere of the game -- it really feels as if you are in a dystopian kingdom.”
- “The aesthetics are excellent.”
- “The visuals, ambience, music, and lore are pretty and add immersion to the game.”
- “This is a ripoff of the 'ultra difficult' platformers like Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be the Guy, but with a more serious ancient Greek/minimalist/'it's art so I don't have to do proper graphics' theme.”
- “Traverse various 2D (yes 2D, it's 2019 and indies are still shoveling 2D bundleware so they can save up and buy a graphics card and do 3D graphics) platforms and respawn constantly.”
- “We have lazy minimal graphics.”

The music in the game is generally appreciated for enhancing the atmosphere, with some users noting its ability to complement the visuals and lore effectively. While it may be repetitive and sometimes considered an afterthought due to gameplay focus, the title screen music and overall design contribute positively to the immersive experience. However, some players find the music to be less engaging, describing it as "noodling."
- “Let me preface this by saying that I typically play games with more storylines and plot, but I'll play just about anything if I enjoy the art or the music.”
- “I love the design of the game and the music that's paired with it, and it definitely gives off the idea that this is a ruined Olympia.”
- “The visuals, ambience, music, and lore are pretty and add immersion to the game.”
- “I don't like the (non-controller) controls, I don't like the pixel-perfect shooting necessary while simultaneously playing Dance Dance Revolution with your fingers to nail the jumps; the graphics seem spartan and far away, and the music is noodling.”
- “Most of your focus will be on the gameplay anyway, so music becomes a bit of an afterthought.”
- “The music, though repetitive, is good for the scenery.”
