Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while the addition of a workshop and various achievements can enhance replay value, many players find the main game and challenge levels short, typically completing them in just a few hours. The lack of substantial content beyond the initial playthrough and the repetitive nature of grinding for achievements limit long-term engagement, leaving players wishing for more levels or DLC to extend the experience.
- “Clean visuals, memorable music and sounds, and plenty of replay value await you.”
- “There are multiple different achievements to try and get through each level for replayability.”
- “There are awards for each level (time trial, etc.) that encourage replayability.”
- “The downside is that the game does not seem that long, and does not seem to have a lot of replay value.”
- “Zero replayability; the main game and all the challenge levels can be beaten in about 3 or 4 hours. To 100% the achievements, you have to grind out levels, doing the same few levels over and over to get enough coins to unlock all the outfits for the last achievement.”
- “Nice game for a chill co-op session, but due to the nature of the game, it is pretty short and has limited replayability.”

- “I have checked my internet connection and run various troubleshooting steps on my end just to make sure, but it is definitely the game.”
