The gameplay features a jump-and-run style with a gravity-flip mechanic, offering over three hours of play across 50 levels. While some players find the mechanics limited and the stages challenging, the levels maintain a sense of variety and complexity, preventing them from feeling repetitive. Overall, it presents a mediocre platforming experience that rewards players who discover effective strategies to progress.
“Over 3 hours of gameplay (for me at least).”
“It has only a few game mechanics, but the 50 levels don't feel repetitive and don't get easy because at some point you find out how you can basically win every level.”
“The mechanics in the game are so poor, and the stages are very difficult to pass through.”
“This time we have a mediocre platformer with a gravity-flip mechanic.”
“I figured out that there was a flip mechanic because it was the only way to reach some of the coins.”

The graphics have been criticized for being subpar, making gameplay challenging, especially in comparison to other superior titles within the genre. Overall, players feel that the visual quality detracts from the experience.
“You need to control a ball that changes gravity either up or down, but with every touch of the floor or ceiling, it's difficult to play. The graphics are bad; there are many better games in this genre.”
