The gameplay of the platformer is characterized by a unique gravity mechanic that some players found enjoyable, but many criticized for being buggy and overused, leading to repetitive level design and a lack of depth. While the core mechanics have potential, issues such as sluggish controls and artificial difficulty detract from the overall experience, resulting in mixed feelings about the game's fun factor and replayability. Overall, the gameplay is simple and can be engaging, but it suffers from design flaws that hinder its execution.
- “Love the gravity mechanic; it's a shame there aren't many other platformers that implement this besides VVVVVV.”
- “Where the game really excels is in the gameplay and level designs.”
- “Simple, but very fun gameplay and awesome level design.”
- “Where this game fails is in the lack of mechanics and quality level design. Besides gravity, levers, and saw blades, there isn't much else to mess around with to give this game depth, and it ends up being copy-pasted of just flipping switches to shut off lasers and avoiding saw blades over and over.”
- “The lever mechanic felt overused and grew stale after 10 or so levels.”
- “The gravity mechanic was pretty buggy, and it’s the central mechanic, which made the gameplay frustrating.”
