- “The music, the style, the level design, and that incredible movement all meld together into what is one of my most favorite games.”

- “The music is great and sets the tone for the game.”
- “The music is passable but it's annoying hearing what felt like the same 5 songs on repeat, all based around the concept of love and relationships.”

The gameplay is a standout feature, offering a mix of simple yet challenging mechanics that encourage exploration and speedrunning. While some mechanics may feel unpolished and the tutorials can be cryptic, mastering the controls leads to a rewarding experience filled with fluid movement and engaging level design. The game excels in providing a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled environment complemented by a fitting soundtrack, making it highly replayable for those who enjoy platforming and collecting challenges.
- “The gameplay is an adrenaline rush and has a nice skill ceiling as well; you won't feel like you've mastered it after a few hours.”
- “The levels are creative, the music is excellent, and the platforming mechanics strike the perfect balance between providing reliable control and leaving a high ceiling for mastery.”
- “Once you get the movement mechanics down, it's really easy to get lost inside this game, and when you take the headset off to take a break, you're kind of left in a daze and wanting to come back to play it some more; highly recommended.”
- “The mechanics of grabbing vs jumping are not well defined and while the first few levels work excellently, after that the physics start to break down and you will find that the actions you used previously for a given movement or jump cease to make sense, or do not work the way you've just gotten used to.”
- “My only complaint would have been that not having a 360 setup kind of ruins the gameplay, since the 'recalibrate' button is absolutely impossible to understand, until I tried the 'seated' mode which allows you to turn using the stick.”
- “Instead I got a grappling hook that pulls me into the floor and an annoying 'look where you want to jump' mechanic.”

- “Couple all this with a superb soundtrack and a minimalist yet effective graphical style and it's absolutely an experience worth checking out.”
- “Choppy visuals and motion, counterintuitive controls.”
- “I didn't find this game to be all that enjoyable; the graphics aren't that great and I got a bit of motion sickness on the movement. Usually, I'm pretty good with sickness, but this one brought it out!”
- “First off, the graphics aren't radically better than Climbey, and this is unfortunate because it would have justified the much higher price.”

- “There is so much to do in this game, and all of it is extremely high quality and infinitely replayable.”

- “There wasn't much that grabbed my imagination, and I realized quickly that this game wasn't going to have much replay value for me.”

The story in the game is minimal and largely unengaging, with players noting that it feels almost non-existent and lacks coherence. The primary enjoyment comes from the gameplay mechanics and exploration rather than any narrative depth, leading to mixed feelings compared to other titles like Windlands, which offered a more immersive experience. Overall, the story is considered bare-bones and not a significant draw for players.
- “The only downside is that the extra completionist side quests are all so tempting that I find myself constantly getting bogged down in trying to make that one pixel-perfect jump time after time after time.”
- “A bit of a mixed feeling after Windlands though – I felt Windlands had a more immersive world and story.”
- “It's little to nothing to watch but experiencing it is a whole different story.”
- “It has a slight storyline; however, it is barely present, and the main enjoyment of the game stems from soaring about the skylines of various environments as you progress through the levels.”
- “That is to say that there is no story.”
- “Story is bare-bones, and not terribly interesting.”

Overall, players report mixed experiences with stability; while some encounter significant issues like slow snap turning and buggy smooth turning, others have found the game to be largely bug-free.

- “The game runs smoothly without any crashes.”
- “I've experienced consistent performance throughout my playtime.”
