The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the mechanics for being poorly executed and not aligning with the expectations set by classic bunny hopping games. While some appreciate the graphics and potential of the game, they find the controls to be floaty and the map designs lacking, leading to a frustrating experience that fails to capture the essence of bunny hopping. Overall, players feel that significant improvements are needed in both mechanics and map design to enhance the gameplay experience.
“It is very fun, good graphics and gameplay.”
“I feel this game has a lot of potential; please note the game mechanics are not the same as CS:GO/CS:S bunny hop, so don't go into it expecting a carbon copy of the source engine!”
“[b] gameplay: [/b] 7/10 - the gameplay is 7/10 because it pretty much did what it was meant to.”
“Sadly, most maps feel like they've been made in less than 15 minutes, with texturing being offensively bad and the gameplay being essentially a copy-paste job.”
“The gameplay didn't offer anything new; in fact, it's like playing bunny hop in CS:GO, except worse.”
“This completely kills the whole point of the game as you aren't able to keep your speed properly, nor does it replicate the original mechanics coming from the source engine.”

The graphics of the game receive generally positive feedback, with many players praising the use of the Unreal Engine for its aesthetic appeal and smooth performance, often rating it between 7.5 to 9 out of 10. However, some critiques highlight issues with optimization, simplistic map designs, and a lack of diverse character models, suggesting that while the graphics are visually appealing, they could benefit from further refinement and customization options. Overall, the game is noted for its good graphics, but some players feel that gameplay mechanics could take precedence over visual quality.
“The graphics are amazing and the optimization is great.”
“I'm very impressed with it so far, the graphics are amazing and the game is super smooth.”
“This game is basically a standalone version of CS, CS:GO, and bhop except with better graphics. This game is beautiful in some areas, especially on the 'very hard' map when you are inside of the tunnel; it's more immersive than CS:GO bhopping.”
“The actual structural work in the maps is extremely plain and empty, making the graphics very cheap.”
“Currently, very low graphics are basically unplayable; you cannot see a single thing.”
“Graphics customization truly lacks; it needs options like model detail, lighting detail, texture detail, anti-aliasing, etc.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the quality and electronic vibe of the soundtrack, which enhances the gameplay experience. However, criticism arises due to the limited variety of tracks, repetitive nature, and the lack of options to turn off the music or import personal playlists. Overall, while the soundtrack is enjoyable for some, it could benefit from more diversity and better customization options.
“Perfect and relaxing music.”
“The soundtrack is awesome!”
“It has some really neat electronic songs that add to the fun when you perfectly land a hop on the beat drop.”
“The music is honestly just the same old retired tracks found in the background of every vlog, and not having the option to turn it off (only a volume slider) or import your own music certainly doesn't help.”
“The soundtrack choice is also kind of mediocre, mostly very annoying.”
“Besides the tons of bugs, the music is bland at best, maps are repetitive, there is no map editor, and physics feel unpolished.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report it running well and being well-optimized, others experience significant performance issues, particularly after updates. Many users note that despite its basic graphics, there are still optimization problems that need addressing, though recent updates have improved performance for some. Additionally, specific settings like "mouse raw input" can adversely affect performance, indicating that optimization could benefit from further refinement.
“If you like to bhop, you should play this game. It is a little different than Source in some ways but not at all bad, and in other ways, it's a little better. You'll definitely enjoy it; it's very optimized as well.”
“It runs pretty well and is well optimized.”
“They just fixed all the performance issues with the new 1.2 update, and now it works perfectly.”
“However, the game itself has numerous optimization issues for a game that is so extremely basic. I've only played about an hour's worth of time when writing this review, and bunnyhopping to clear a map doesn't take long; as anyone who's bunnyhopped for a while can clear 10 maps in less than 15 minutes.”
“Most of the negatives are coming along with the graphics and various optimizations; however, these are minimal fixes that can be addressed and should be fixed immediately.”
“Only thing that sucks is, since some updates, the performance got worse, but it's still okay.”
