With this game we try to challenge the player to finish the entire game with only 3 continues. There are no save points so you have to make the entire run in one go. If you have friends (Or the internet) you can share cheat codes to skip some levels, but don't forget you will not get the maximum amount of points and maybe not able to unlock certain achievements using cheat codes. The choice is you…

The gameplay has been widely criticized for its lackluster level design, poor mechanics, and frustrating controls, leading to a repetitive and unenjoyable experience. Despite a unique transformation mechanic, it fails to elevate the overall blandness, with many players expressing their dissatisfaction and recommending against purchasing the game. Overall, the gameplay is described as tedious and infuriating, with little value for gamers.
“It has a unique transform mechanic similar to Kirby, but that alone isn't enough to carry this game.”
“The gameplay is okay, as far as platformers go, but unappealing graphics and repetitive music make it really hard to want to play it for a long period of time.”
“This is a game made for the nicest of the nicest people in our society; this game will make them swear at the screen and maybe even punch a hole through their screen after 15 minutes of playing. The game was designed to make you angrier than a bull with red contact lenses.”
“The settings also don't work; basically, the only two features that work are 'play game' and 'quit.' Everything else just sort of does nothing, which is just the icing on the cake of this game's horrible design. Speaking of horrible design, I'll end off on the horrible transformation mechanic.”
“Sloppy controls, missing basic features, poorly thought out mechanics.”
“The graphics are awful, the gameplay mechanics are unenjoyable, and the fact that you can die three times and then get a game over is unbelievable.”

The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many users describing it as bland, repetitive, and reminiscent of stock soundtracks. While a few players found the music catchy, the overwhelming sentiment is that the short loops quickly become annoying and detract from the overall experience, leading to headaches and a desire to mute the game.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The music is good though.”
“Music worked well with the levels that I played.”
“The soundtrack is really bland and every track that is used throughout the game just constantly loops. It wouldn't be as bad if the soundtrack was actually catchy or good, but all of it sounds like a stock free soundtrack someone just quickly ripped off the internet.”
“The background music gives me headaches, so I had to close the game after 4 minutes of torture trying to complete the tutorial.”
“Music gets very annoying fast since it is like a 5-second bit on constant repeat.”

The story has been criticized for being uninteresting and nonsensical, with most choices feeling inconsequential except for the final one that alters the ending. Overall, it is described as a generic mess, lacking depth and engagement.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“There are choices that affect the outcome of the story, and genuinely the only real choice that matters is the final one that ends up giving you a different ending. All the other choices just sort of give you different achievements; that's really all there is to it.”
“The story is actually just not very interesting, simply because it makes no sense.”
“There are choices that affect the outcome of the story, but genuinely the only real choice that matters is the final one that gives you a different ending; all the other choices just result in different achievements.”
