The gameplay is characterized as simple and enjoyable, with a charming metroidvania style that features easy controls and forgiving combat mechanics. However, players noted the game is quite short, typically taking around 30 to 40 minutes to complete, and expressed frustration over the lack of a save feature.

“A short, charming little metroidvania with four simple controls (z, x, up arrow, down arrow) and combat that doesn't punish you too harshly for making mistakes. I like the graphics, sound design, and gameplay. Movement feels floaty, and this is a very short game, only taking me 30 minutes to complete. 7/10.”
