The graphics of the game have received praise for their vibrant and unique art style, reminiscent of the ena series, which many players found engaging and visually appealing. However, some users noted that the brightness of the visuals could be overstimulating at times. Overall, the presentation is considered excellent, with colorful graphics that enhance gameplay and contribute to a charming aesthetic.
“I was thrilled and hooked onto the art style, very reminiscent of the ena series.”
“The presentation is excellent - the chunky graphics look great, the bright colors not only catch the eye but also do a good job of indicating the way forward against the chaotic background.”
“Amazing graphical style, incredibly deep characters, a moving story, a moral worth believing in.”
“I also found myself struggling with how bright some of the visuals were to the point where I started feeling overstimulated while playing.”
“The unique and cute-garish aesthetics mask the fact that the platforming is actually quite demanding in places, and I'd expect even experienced run-and-jumpers to fall and fail several times in the half-hour of playtime.”
“Low difficulty platformer, cute aesthetic, pretty bad English.”

The gameplay of "Funky Panic Attack" is characterized by fast-paced platforming, unique mechanics like an object-freezing gun, and a charming art style that enhances the experience. Players can enjoy a mix of parkour, item collection, and engaging interactions with cute characters, although some find the overall experience to be short, lasting around 30 minutes. Despite its brevity, the game offers fun mechanics and a fair risk-reward system, making it a delightful indie platformer worth trying.

“Really short but I loved it, the gameplay is super fun and the characters are cute as heck, you should give it a try!”
“At first, from the gameplay trailer, I was a bit hesitant that it seemed too fast-paced platforming to me, but to get an ending, you could go at your own pace.”
“Also, in the kindest way possible, the gameplay feels not great.”
“Aside from that, fun cute little game with about 30 minutes of gameplay.”
