The gameplay is a simple, fast-paced 2D action-adventure style where players move between rooms, focusing on tasks like scaring characters and collecting money. It offers straightforward mechanics with some added challenges through completion goals, though opinions vary from describing it as enjoyable and tight to dull and uninteresting. Overall, gameplay is easy to pick up but may lack lasting appeal for some players.
- “The gameplay is fast and simple but the game provides added completion-time and money-collection goals for those looking for an added challenge.”
- “The gameplay consists of moving between rooms in a building trying to scare old people and steal their money for soda.”
- “I say platformer, but I am not 100% sure this counts... it's more like a 2D 'adventure' action game, as you don't jump between platforms, instead you run between doors and elevators as part of the gameplay.”
- “Anyway, bad premises aside, this is a pretty awful game with bad graphics and lame gameplay, and no lasting interest for gamers.”

- “Finally, I would like to mention the soundtrack and the graphics.”
- “My main issue is that it could have used a variety of music, as there is only one track on loop.”
- “My main issue is that it could have used a variety of music, we have only one on loop.”
- “The sole music track for the level select screen and levels, though fitting to the game's style, is short in length, so it loops often and can end up getting irritating.”
- “The exciting, yet repetitive music puts you in just the right mood for scaring people.”
