The gameplay features a variety of new mechanics, including driving vehicles, chasing crabs, and using a gravitational gadget, alongside the introduction of new characters. However, players have criticized the driving controls for being loose and the presence of a restrictive timer that detracts from the overall experience, suggesting it should be removed or improved for a more enjoyable gameplay flow. Despite these issues, many players still find the game engaging and nostalgic.
- “You are about to enjoy new mechanics like driving a car or a tractor, chasing crabs, delivering parcels to the neighbors, and lifting items with the help of a gravitational gadget. Additionally, we have introduced new characters to the game.”
- “I love this game! I played it when I was 12, and it's the best game I've ever played. It's a challenging and adventurous experience. I will send gameplay videos on YouTube; my channel name is Portrait Guru. Please subscribe, thank you!”
- “It's a super game! I enjoy this gameplay experience.”
- “This game really could have been great, no hate towards the devs, but it's a bit bad when it comes to certain mechanics. The driving parts are way too loose and wonky. The timer should definitely be removed or revamped; players shouldn't have to feel rushed. When you get time back, you only get 25 seconds. In the original game, you could roam around freely without being timed, especially when you're being chased. The timer is my biggest complaint.”
- “The gameplay feels unpolished and frustrating at times. The controls are not responsive enough, making it difficult to execute certain actions smoothly. This detracts from the overall experience and makes it hard to enjoy the game fully.”
- “I found the gameplay to be repetitive and lacking in variety. After a few hours, it felt like I was doing the same tasks over and over again, which made it hard to stay engaged.”

- “This game is good, but I can't complete the Christmas update level 1 because of its time limit of only 2 minutes. If the developer gives 3 or 4 minutes, then I can complete the level. Sometimes it freezes, and the jump mechanics are faulty. That's why I am giving it 2 stars, but the first chapter is easy, so I request the creator to extend the time.”
- “This game is amazing, but it has many glitches.”
