The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring cute sprites and satisfying movement mechanics, but it suffers from limited replayability and a short duration of around 30 minutes. Players noted clunky fight mechanics and issues with hit detection, while the game effectively teaches its mechanics without a tutorial.

- “Not sure where it starts nor where it ends, yet the gameplay is enjoyable.”
- “The image is too blurry, and the fight mechanics are kind of clunky.”

- “My only complaints are that there is no shift + left click mechanic to move items into the chest instantly, as well as the attack animations of the character that just don't feel right to me.”

The game's story is generally appreciated for its charm and simplicity, with players enjoying the cute characters and engaging style. However, some reviewers note a lack of depth, as the narrative primarily revolves around acquiring new weapons and armor rather than a cohesive plot or clear objectives.
- “Love this game! It's so fun, and I love the style and the story. It's easy to play, and the music is great. My computer had no problem running the game. I almost never like games like this, but my brother loves it and wanted me to play it. I loved it! To top it all off, it's free, so it's a 10/10 in my book. One more thing: the characters are so cute; I love them! Please play this game; you will love it!”
- “There is no real story or goals aside from acquiring new weapons and armor.”
- “The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “Character development is minimal, leaving the plot feeling flat and uninteresting.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game repetitive and tedious, as it involves repeatedly farming easy levels for currency to access medium levels, only to exhaust that currency quickly and return to grinding. This cycle can detract from the overall enjoyment and progression.
- “The game basically consists of grinding easy levels for money to access medium levels, then spending all that money to visit medium levels just once, and going back to grind easy levels again.”
- “Grinding feels repetitive and tedious, making the gameplay experience drag on longer than it should.”
- “The constant need to grind for resources takes away from the enjoyment of the game, turning it into a chore rather than a fun experience.”
