The gameplay is characterized by clunky mechanics and hit detection, leading to a frustrating experience marred by bugs and poor design choices, particularly around movement and character interactions. While there are some redeeming features, such as a unique art style and enjoyable character swap mechanics, the overall execution feels unpolished and unprofessional, with translation issues further detracting from the experience.
“There are certainly redeeming qualities such as a good art style, a small sense of progression, and mechanics such as the heart signs which are well thought out.”
“I loved messing around with the character swap mechanics and figuring out new maneuvers and tricks I could do.”
“Despite some movement issues near ladders and ramps, I found the gameplay engaging and enjoyed the unique mechanics.”
“The mechanics and hit detection are clunky, the music overstays its welcome, sound effects can be irritating to listen to, and it feels completely unprofessional.”
“A mess of a game, a short one, although that's not a bad thing. This game is a glitchy mess, where most of the difficulty comes from bad design and buggy gameplay.”
“For example, after getting off of a ladder, you can't jump unless you move a certain distance away from it. Most of the movement issues happened near or on ladders, ramps, and while carrying the other character on your head.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches that detract from the overall experience. While the concept and visuals are appealing, the gameplay is hampered by poor design and unresponsive controls, making it feel like a "glitchy mess." Improvements in stability could elevate it from a frustrating experience to a charming platformer-puzzle game.
“A mess of a game, a short one, although that's not a bad thing. This game is a glitchy mess, where most of the difficulty comes from bad design and buggy gameplay.”
“As cute as the game's style and animation are, the base game itself is riddled with bugs and glitches that ultimately take away any fun that could be had playing it.”
“It's just a buggy mess, but a good idea.”

The game's graphics are highlighted for their charming art style and beautiful sprites, particularly the animations of the bunny character. However, while the visuals are appealing, they are somewhat undermined by frustrating controls and hitbox issues, which detract from the overall gameplay experience.
“There are certainly redeeming qualities such as a good art style, a small sense of progression, and mechanics such as the heart signs which are well thought out.”
“I recommend it for anyone who wants a fun and short platformer to play (also it is co-op so it would be great with friends). The sprites are beautiful and the art style is great.”
“It's really a shame because the art style is so nice (at least for the bunny; I feel like some more care could've been put into the fox considering how nice bunny's idle animation is).”
“As cute as the art style in this game is, that's about the only thing it has going for it.”

The monetization strategy is criticized as a cash grab, failing to deliver on the promise of a quality 2D platforming co-op experience.
“It's just a cash grab that promises to be a fine enough 2D platforming co-op game, but doesn't even manage to do that.”

The story's dialogue suffers from poor English translation, which can hinder understanding, though players can still piece together the narrative. Additionally, a lack of clear instructions on gameplay mechanics may lead to confusion and missed opportunities.

“I was captivated by the intricate plot twists and emotional depth of the narrative.”
“The world-building is exceptional, making the story feel immersive and alive.”
“The dialogue is poorly translated into English. I could gather enough for the story, but I missed a mechanic for a couple of levels because it didn't tell me what button to use, and I'm not the best at figuring that out.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters.”
“I found the plot to be predictable and uninspired, which really detracted from my overall enjoyment of the game.”
