The game features tight controls and improved movement mechanics, making it a joy to play and speedrun.
The vibrant art style and catchy soundtrack enhance the overall experience, creating a charming and engaging atmosphere.
Demon Turf: Neon Splash successfully removes the combat elements from the original game, focusing solely on platforming, which many players found to be a significant improvement.

Some players found the controls to be imprecise and slippery, leading to frustration during precision platforming sections.
The game is relatively short, with a completion time of around 2-4 hours, which some players felt was not enough content for the price.
The color schemes and visual effects can be straining on the eyes, with requests for a toggle to adjust them to a more comfortable setting.

The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, characterized by a fast-paced, thumping electronic soundtrack that perfectly complements the vibrant visuals and tight platforming mechanics. Reviewers noted that the energetic soundtrack enhances the gameplay experience, creating an engaging atmosphere that keeps players motivated throughout. Overall, the music is described as a standout feature, with many calling it a "bop" that resonates long after playing.
- “The platforming is done greatly, with a soundtrack that works incredibly well, the art style is just lovely and the whole atmosphere is extremely comfy, thanks to the adorable characters too.”
- “The game's art style pops off of the screen, working in conjunction with a killer soundtrack to always drive the player forwards.”
- “Every bit of the presentation compliments that feeling of breaking a stage's rules; while it might not be to everyone's taste, everything from the 2.5D gremlin protagonist to the fast-paced music to the graffiti-style paint you leave behind is part of its garage-rock attitude.”
- “Cute art style, pumping soundtrack which I can still feel reverberating in my brain hours after finishing the game.”
- “The soundtrack consists of very fast-paced and thumping electronic music which is fitting.”

The gameplay is a blend of engaging mechanics and charming visuals, reminiscent of classic platformers like Mario Sunshine, with a focus on speedrunning and collecting trophies. While the controls are praised for their depth and satisfaction, some players find the movement mechanics unintuitive and the pacing occasionally disrupted. Overall, it offers a fun and unique experience, enhanced by a vibrant soundtrack and creative level design.
- “The depth of the movement system combined with absolutely stunning level design creates some of the most engaging movement-based gameplay I have ever experienced.”
- “Just some pure incredible 3D platforming with some of the best gameplay I've got to experience.”
- “The game is so much fun not only because of the beautifully crafted mechanics and maps, but also largely because how the idea of this game - story, characters, and the visuals - was beautifully executed into a proper, enjoyable experience.”
- “I don't think I could ever get used to the weird and unintuitive movement mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is essentially the same as the previous game, but with a much stronger emphasis towards beating the par times and getting the trophies – speedrunning the game essentially.”
- “So for a start, the problems that I had from the base game with moments that kill pacing and also weird gameplay mechanics that aren't consistent (gliding)?”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant, vaporwave-inspired aesthetic, featuring colorful visuals and charming character designs that enhance the overall atmosphere. The unique combination of 2D sprites in a 3D environment and a lively soundtrack creates an engaging experience, making the art style a standout element of the gameplay. Reviewers highlight the eye-catching graphics as a key factor in the game's appeal, contributing to its fun and immersive platforming mechanics.
- “The graphics are heavily inspired by vaporwave aesthetic: they’re nice and vibrant and Beebz leaves a trail of paint behind where she walks.”
- “The game's art style pops off of the screen, working in conjunction with a killer soundtrack to always drive the player forwards.”
- “Incredibly fun and well-designed platformer, the graphics style is beautiful, dialogue is entertaining, soundtrack is awesome, all around a great experience and well worth the $5 to purchase the game.”
- “The graphics and sound all have more of an "a e s t h e t i c" feel.”
- “You could compare the original's rough, demonic aesthetic to something like Jimmy Two-Shoes or Billy and Mandy, filtered through a 90s Doom mod with a dash of Disgaea - Neon Splash covering it all in a thick Splatoon coating.”
- “In addition to the change of movement is a new aesthetic: one that's far more bright and vivid compared to the darker and duller original, and gives off heavy Splatoon vibes.”

The story in "Demon Turf: Neon Splash" is minimal, with players able to complete the game in just 1-2 hours, and it lacks the depth and character interactions found in the original. While the game focuses more on gameplay mechanics and visuals, many players feel that the character relationships feel forced and underdeveloped. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as a missed opportunity, especially for fans of the original's characters.
- “The game is so much fun not only because of the beautifully crafted mechanics and maps, but also largely because the idea of this game - story, characters, and the visuals - was beautifully executed into a proper, enjoyable experience.”
- “Considering that Luci was heavily promoted in the original relative to her limited screentime and story role, this feels like it's finally giving her the focus she needed.”
- “The original’s set-up was great, but the story as a whole failed due to the odd character interactions, particularly the interactions with the main three, which implied they were great friends, but this friendship felt forced and never actually established.”
- “There's barely a story and you can complete all of the normal levels in about 1-2 hours.”
- “There's not as much story or dialogue in this compared to the first game, which is a shame because I liked the characters.”
- “There's none of the sidequests/hubs/story from the original, either - in fact, the only returning NPCs are Luci and Midgi.”
