The gameplay in Funkyheart is characterized by its unique bunny hopping mechanic, which, while initially challenging, becomes enjoyable as players master it. The level design accommodates both casual and skilled players, offering a mix of fun and frustration, particularly in the later stages. Overall, the game combines solid mechanics, engaging visuals, and a fantastic soundtrack, making for a rewarding platforming experience despite some complaints about control and gameplay diversity.
- “The gameplay was super fun; I enjoyed my whole time with it.”
- “The visuals are insane, the gameplay, while it has slower moments, is overall much more fast-paced than other games that go for a surreal art style, as this conveys it without being a walking simulator.”
- “Funkyheart's bunny hopping mechanic is uniquely fun among this genre of first-person 3D platformers, and the object-freeze ability did an excellent job complementing the fast-paced momentum of hopping with the high skill ceiling ability to preemptively stop obstacles from slowing you down.”
- “However, the combination of spinning platforms, automated continual bouncing/hopping mechanic, and moving backgrounds in the 'break zones' caused the worst motion sickness I've experienced in a modern video game.”
- “Some of the level design felt really odd to try and 'b-hop' through as fast as possible, as some platforms and obstacles felt like you had to actively position yourself awkwardly, and the 'b-hop' mechanic just made your character move a little faster while jumping and not being the momentum-carrying mechanic that 'b-hop' is known for.”
- “So far, my only complaints are the lack of gameplay diversity, the insane difficulty spike at the end of the game, and the lack of control in the air.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and charming art style, blending PS1/PS2 aesthetics with modern elements, creating a visually engaging experience. While many players appreciate the stunning visuals and fantastic soundtrack, some note that certain aspects can feel underdeveloped or reminiscent of simpler games like Roblox. Overall, the combination of striking visuals and a captivating soundtrack enhances the gameplay, making it enjoyable despite minor optimization issues.
- “The visuals in this game are awesome, but you don't need me to tell you that - the Steam screenshots and videos already do a good job of that.”
- “Amazing music, great visuals, movement feels fantastic and unique, and the writing is on the exact same brainrot frequency as me.”
- “The graphics are unique and really nice, the music slaps, and Mavi is cute.”
- “The style of the game is engaging enough that it could have been a fine walking simulator/light platformer, but the intensity of platforming doesn’t match the refinement of the visuals/controls.”
- “My only gripe is that it feels like they didn't go far enough with the art style, so it ends up feeling like a Roblox obby in terms of visuals at points; the wireframe sections are perfect in terms of visual style, however.”
- “(The visuals in some levels can be kind of hard on the eyes.)”

Players find the game's emotional narrative to be heartwarming, though some feel that the short length limits character development and emotional connections. More levels and interactions could enhance the emotional impact, but overall, the experience is still enjoyable and resonates with players.

stability

Users have reported several glitches affecting stability, including issues that require restarting levels and problems with character controls. There are requests for bug fixes, a respawn button, and options for vsync or capped FPS to improve performance and streaming compatibility.
- “I ran into a good few glitches that made me restart 1-2 levels. At one point, a dialogue I encountered strangely stole my 'weapon' pointer hand, so I couldn't stop anything anymore. Another time, I just couldn't walk anymore. I hope it gets some bug-fixing love, and please add a respawn button and allow for VSync/capped FPS since the game uses all your resources, making it pretty streaming-unfriendly.”
- “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing significant progress. Stability is a major issue that needs to be addressed.”
- “I experienced multiple freezes and crashes during gameplay, which really detracted from the overall experience. It's frustrating to deal with such instability.”
