The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the floaty controls and unpredictable mechanics frustrating, detracting from the overall experience. However, others appreciate the sharpness of the controls and the depth of the double jump mechanic, which allows for strategic movement. Overall, the gameplay seems to have potential but is hindered by certain design choices.
- “The gameplay feels sharp and clicky.”
- “As an example, you can double jump in the game - and you can 'hold' the second jump for a good amount of time, making you able to jump longer than just quickly double jumping, so this is a mechanic that is great to learn.”

- “I've got to be honest, I really wanted to like this, but with the floaty jumping and RNG cannon mechanic, it's frustrating without the skill element of frustration.”
