Some users express hope for future improvements, but the initial reception of the story is overwhelmingly negative.

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many users noting poor overall quality and mismatched elements, despite some beautiful textures and a well-designed dragon. While some players appreciate the game's adorable aesthetic, they criticize the lack of polish in other graphical aspects and the game's performance issues, such as bugs and low-quality loading screens. Overall, the graphics seem to struggle under the weight of technical demands and inconsistent design choices, leaving players disappointed.
“The game is absolutely adorable, and the graphics and scenery are beautiful.”
“Beautiful graphics and textures.”
“The graphics are nice, given the fact that there's just a small dev team (maybe even 1 single person? I don't know).”
“The graphics are of poor quality, but it requires a lot of graphics card.”
“The only thing really polished in the whole game is the dragon; the rest of the graphics are in stark contrast to said dragon. Yes, it's a cute dragon, but one cute dragon cannot carry your entire game.”
“The graphics are overall very basic, with loading screens featuring awfully upscaled pictures.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players highlighting significant bugs and clunky mechanics that detract from the experience, often comparing it unfavorably to Roblox games. While some appreciate the cute animations and nostalgic elements reminiscent of Spyro, the overall consensus is that the game is extremely short, lacking depth, and plagued by technical issues, making it feel unfinished. Players suggest it may appeal to younger audiences, but those seeking a polished and engaging experience may be disappointed.
“I might get the DLC, just because I do genuinely enjoy the gameplay, and might let my niece play it some since she likes to play games on my Steam.”
“- Cute gameplay and smooth animations for the dragon.”
“Gameplay brings back fond memories of Spyro and the new ice world is pretty cool too!”
“I encountered multiple bugs making the game feel unplayable. It's cute, but this has a lot of bugs and the mechanics are reminiscent of a Roblox game. The dragon looks nice, but everything else seems to lack effort.”
“Platforming is bug exploitation; no surface seems to react to you landing on or running up it the same way ever again. Enemies are way upscaled with no ability to grind. Based on the music and gameplay, I assumed this was aimed at a younger demographic.”
“The game so far has nothing really: no story, no graphics, no good gameplay, and it crashes/glitches.”
