The gameplay is seen as a solid alternative to the Google Chrome offline browser game, with potential for future improvements. However, players have noted issues such as the lack of a cooldown for the jump mechanic and brightness inconsistencies in some textures that need addressing.
“This is a good alternative to the Google Chrome offline browser game and has the potential to advance further in the future. There are a few things that need to be worked on, such as the jump mechanic not having a slight cooldown and brightness shifting for some textures.”
