The graphics of the game are generally praised for their cute and colorful pixel art, which is well-suited for a retro aesthetic.

- “The animation and graphics are perfect!”
- “The graphics are really cute, the music is awesome, and the levels are challenging enough to keep you interested.”

- “I think it's safe to say this is not reasonable for an average platform game, with graphics similar to an above-average flash game you can play in your browser.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, highlighting both enjoyable aspects and significant flaws. While some players appreciate the fun and simplicity of the mechanics, many criticize issues such as frustrating glitches, unwieldy climbing mechanics, and problematic enemy hitboxes. Overall, the game offers a decent experience but suffers from a lack of polish and variety.
- “To be a little forward, the way the controls are mapped is kind of perfect for the gameplay, so in a way they don't need to be remapped. It takes you a little bit to get used to the layout, but after that, it's continuous fun.”
- “The game's mechanics and controls weren't bad.”
- “Anyone looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon with an adorable mascot should travel to Foxyland, as long as you're willing to accept its shortcomings in variety and certain gameplay mechanics.”
- “This is, unfortunately, a waste of time, with the lack of a basic exit button (use alt+f4) and overly simplified gameplay and mechanics.”
- “The game is bad because of some infuriating gameplay glitches.”
- “- Ridiculously unwieldy vine and ladder mechanics that force you to grab on if passed by while airborne (annoying) and seemingly randomly make you jump off instead of climb up when pressing up (unacceptably bad).”

The music in the game is primarily characterized by a single, repetitive chiptune track that some players find fitting for a retro platformer, while others consider it boring and lacking variety. While it appeals to retro enthusiasts, the limited soundtrack can detract from the overall experience, with players expressing a desire for more diverse musical content to match the game's lively gameplay and engaging graphics.
- “The gameplay is quite lively, a platformer just the way we love it. The music is great for retro gamers, but that being said, the music can get a bit repetitive, which is part of what makes a retro game retro.”
- “The graphics are really cute, the music is awesome, and the levels are challenging enough to keep you interested.”
- “Again, more worlds would lead to more music, and I love tunes in my ears!”
- “There's only one in-game music track for most of the levels: some boring, unfitting classic rock-sounding chiptune.”
- “Now, aside from the controls, this game has a repetitive soundtrack, which is basically one song.”
- “The story is nonexistent, there's only one song in the entire game and as far as I have seen, these assets have been used in other games.”
