The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its poor platforming mechanics, hitbox issues, and delayed actions, leading to a frustrating experience. However, some find the simplicity of the gameplay—primarily involving basic movements and attacks—challenging in its own right. Overall, the execution of gameplay elements appears to be lacking, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
“The gameplay is extremely simple, but it is still a challenging game.”
“This game barely functioned as a platformer; it's honestly terrible, and so are the hitboxes, the delayed fire mechanic, and the jumping.”
“Just the gameplay mechanics, level layout, arrow guide, and everything gameplay-wise is very poor.”
“The simple gameplay only consists of moving left, right, jumping, or attacking.”
