The gameplay is characterized by its creative mechanics and intricate level design, offering a unique platforming experience reminiscent of Geometry Dash, though some players find the initial levels too easy. While the game features innovative mechanics that become more engaging after the first 20 levels, there are criticisms regarding the lack of new gameplay elements in later levels and the simplicity of achievements. Overall, players appreciate the well-crafted mechanics and the satisfaction of completing complex challenges.
“It is one of the few platformers with creative mechanics, and is probably the second best I have played.”
“Intricate levels and complex, but overall I did well and finished it, thus satisfied with the gameplay.”
“What makes it stand out is that it is capable of using limited mechanics and elements creatively enough to create 100 levels that all feel unique.”
“But still not great gameplay.”
“If you want to enjoy the game, it starts after like the first 20 levels because those are way too easy and are just there to show you the obstacles and mechanics of the game.”
“Cons: too easy (I mean, way too easy), nothing actually new in the gameplay with new levels, absolutely stupid achievements (die 10 times, 20, 50 etc.).”
