The music in the game features a nostalgic chip-tune style reminiscent of old Game Boy titles, which some players find addictive. However, many reviewers note that the soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, with a desire for more than one song to enhance the experience. Overall, while the music serves its purpose, it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
- “The soundtrack sounds nice and retro-ish.”
- “The soundtrack is reminiscent of old Game Boy titles and very addictive.”
- “The sound has the old-style chip-tune bloops and whistles as well, and while the soundtrack isn’t particularly memorable, it does the job.”
- “The music is a bit repetitive, but I found myself watching movies while playing.”
- “Music is okay (wish there would be more than one song though).”
- “There are a lot of things that could have been done to make a better playing experience (like a proper story, more than one music song, more than one upgrade, etc.), but as said, it's still a solid platformer; just don't expect anything special.”

The gameplay is characterized by solid mechanics and varied level design, offering a fun and visually appealing experience, especially for speedrunners. However, the absence of checkpoints within levels detracts from the overall enjoyment and respect for player time. Despite its potential, there is still significant room for improvement.

- “Overall, this is a game with a lot of potential and visually looks very good with some great ideas and mechanics, but does have room for a lot of improvement.”

The game's story is minimal and largely nonsensical, consisting of only a few lines of text that fail to provide context for the gameplay, such as the reason for collecting "chicks." While the platforming mechanics are solid, many players feel that a more developed narrative could have significantly enhanced the overall experience.
- “There is also no story to this game (there were like 3-5 lines of text that made little sense), and I'm not sure why I'm collecting 'chicks,' but I am because if I didn't, then I'd be missing half (or more) of the level.”
- “There are a lot of things that could have been done to make a better playing experience, like a proper story, more than one music track, more than one upgrade, etc. But as said, it's still a solid platformer; just don't expect anything special.”
