- “It’s enjoyable and has a charming (albeit amateurish) 16-bit-era look, but one can easily find something much better, and with a higher replay value, with just a few more coins.”

Players find the game emotionally engaging, with a charming aesthetic and well-crafted sound design that enhance the experience. The balance of difficulty evokes a range of feelings, from satisfaction in overcoming challenges to frustration that can lead to tears during tough boss fights.
- “The soundtrack is fun, the sound design is spot on, and the graphics are full of charm yet clean enough that the screen is impressively easy to parse. The game strikes a sweet spot of difficulty where you can brute force your way through if you just want to clear it, but the challenge goes as deep as you want, to the point where it'll make you want to cry while hitting continue for the 12th time during that boss fight.”
