The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that emphasize platforming challenges, often requiring players to adapt to dynamic obstacles rather than relying on memorization. While many find the controls responsive and the co-op experience enjoyable, some criticize the level design and online connectivity issues, which can detract from the overall fun. Overall, the game offers a mix of frustration and satisfaction, appealing to those who appreciate challenging platformers.
- “Lovely platformer with simple mechanics and fun co-op gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is very fluid and nothing really strange happens under normal conditions.”
- “It has good graphics, good gameplay and overall it's definitely worth the money and will keep you busy.”
- “Saws or maces that follow a path speed up or slow down depending on how long you've been in the level (why?) so you can't just memorize timing like every other platformer, you have to adapt to the broken mechanics.”
- “This game is the type of game you can't play alone or you'll die of boredom, but the fact that they somehow made online absolutely unplayable pisses me off; it's ridiculous how a company can mess up something as simple as online gameplay in this day and age.”

- “Graphics are just plain horrible, bad as in the bad way.. if you think that this is something among the lines of Super Meat Boy you are very wrong.”
