The gameplay aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while it features a level builder that enhances replayability and community interaction, many players find the core mechanics to be underwhelming and challenging to master, especially with mouse and keyboard controls. The game offers a quick tutorial and allows for creative level design, but some users feel that the best levels are either overly technical or too casual, which may not showcase the game's strengths effectively. Overall, the addition of new mechanics through DLC has been positively received, making the gameplay experience more enjoyable for those who engage with it.
- “A good way to experience some of the mechanics of the real game, gives a quick tutorial then allows you to play and create levels with tons of assets.”
- “It has the ability to create levels with even metroidvania style elements, where as you progress you unlock the various movement mechanics and unlock the next challenge.”
- “The DLC added new mechanics to play with, so being able to use those as well plus new ones is super fun!”
- “Basic game mechanics are just 'fine'.”
- “Editor for a 3D platformer with mechanics in place and some free levels, but no story or anything tied in, just some levels?”

- “Editor for a 3D platformer with mechanics in place and some free levels, but no story—nothing tied in, just some levels?”
