The gameplay is a challenging metroidvania experience that combines retro elements with unique mechanics, such as time manipulation, which adds depth but can be frustrating due to inconsistent controls. While the game features a steep learning curve and occasionally obtuse design, players who invest time in mastering the mechanics will find rewarding challenges and memorable encounters. Despite its flaws, including janky controls and a punishing difficulty, the gameplay is generally regarded as solid and engaging, appealing to fans of the genre.
- “The gameplay, as mentioned before, is a metroidvania platformer, but does some things to stand out from many contemporaries of its time, even from recent titles today.”
- “This game's challenges will also put the player's skills to the test; it starts off fairly simple at first, but players eventually find themselves dealing with tricky platforming, puzzle solving, or taking on daunting boss battles ranging from a devil girl who demands you to fight her as the first boss, to a pyromaniac hyper-realistic cat, a crazed mechanical tank, and some of these nonsensical bosses will put you through the kind of hell that would make seasoned veterans blush.”
- “A great mix of metroid style exploration with bullet-hell gameplay mechanics, this game is a brilliant challenge.”
- “But it's just a culmination of all the bad gameplay elements that have been discarded from retro games for the past 30 years for being either too unintuitive, or exceedingly tedious or frustrating.”
- “Horrible controls, even worse mechanics... I just don't see any appeal in it.”
- “The time mechanic is badly implemented as well; it has a very selective effectiveness, some areas it works, others it won't.”

Overall, the story is not the main focus, but its quirky charm adds to the game's appeal for those who enjoy offbeat humor.
- “Is one of those games that you don't get to see often nowadays that takes an oddball story and is loaded with absurd comedy, fanservice, difficult and nonsensical boss battles, nods to classics such as Metroid, Castlevania, and even Maze of Gallious among many others, and then goes to town with it, and I love it.”

- “The story made little to no sense, but then again I couldn't finish the game.”
