Fun and enjoyable 3D platformer with a charming goblin theme and unique mechanics.
Great value as a free game with good replayability, especially for speedrunning and collecting achievements.
Charming art style, catchy music, and overall solid presentation showing clear talent and care from student developers.

Controls and camera are clunky and difficult to manage, making platforming sections and navigation frustrating at times.
Only one short level and limited content, so game feels barebones and may not satisfy players looking for a polished full experience.
Some bugs and glitches with enemy AI, collision, and coin collection/loss detract from the gameplay experience.
