The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it clunky and frustrating, particularly due to its limited 12 levels and lack of music. While the initial challenge is noted, many users feel that the mechanics become too easy once mastered, leading to a quick decline in engagement. Overall, the experience is described as short-lived and lacking depth.
“Only 12 levels and the gameplay is clunky at best.”
“Gameplay is probably for 10-15 minutes (I gave up after 8 because of the 6th level).”
“It started out challenging but then I mastered the deep mechanics and it turned into a cakewalk.”

The game features no music or sound effects, resulting in a quiet gameplay experience that some users feel detracts from the overall enjoyment. While it may appeal to children, the lack of musical variety across its 12 levels leaves much to be desired.
“It might be an interesting game for children but could be more fun with background music.”
“It is a simple platform game with no variety, 12 levels of the same thing, no sound and no music.”
“Besides, the game does not include music or any other sounds.”
“No music (quiet gameplay)”

The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with the developer using a basic platformer template and asset-flipped sprites to quickly release a low-quality product on Steam. This approach is further underscored by the game's inclusion in cheap shovelware bundles shortly after launch, reinforcing its reputation as a scam.
“The Russian asset flipper, Vyacheslav Shilikhin, took the basic platformer template from Construct 2, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
“Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
“To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap, nasty shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
