- The graphics are of extremely low quality, resembling MS Paint drawings, and the pixel art is blurry with inconsistent asset scaling.
- The platforming mechanics are poorly designed, resulting in floaty jumps, wonky collisions, and frustrating gameplay experiences.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to achievements that necessitate dying 999 times to achieve 100% completion. This repetitive requirement detracts from the overall enjoyment and can feel excessively burdensome.
“Tedious achievements that ultimately require you to die 999 times to reach 100%.”

The emotional aspect of the game is marked by a sense of frustration and abruptness, as players experience instant death upon touching the screen's edge, which can lead to feelings of helplessness and disappointment.
