Gameplay is engaging and features well-implemented platforming mechanics such as conveyor belts, trampoline platforms, and grappling hooks, alongside unique VR elements like physical climbing and "rocket hand" navigation. However, players may find that as they progress, the game increasingly relies on the accuracy of certain mechanics that can be frustratingly imprecise. Patience is key, as mastering the gameplay can lead to a rewarding experience despite initial challenges.
“There are some well-implemented platforming conventions: 'conveyor belt' blocks, trampoline platforms, grappling hooks, as well as some VR platforming mechanics like physical climbing and 'rocket hand' navigation.”
“The mechanics feel good, with my biggest challenge being how to properly throw myself in order to 'jump' some of the larger gaps between nodes.”
“Good up to a point, but the further into the game you get, the more it relies on the accuracy of a mechanic that is not at all accurate.”
“Highly recommend the game if you have some patience; you'll be dying a bit as you learn the mechanics and overall feel of the gameplay, but man is it worth it.”

The graphics are characterized as an unusual blend of the original game's visuals combined with the line patterns from the legacy version, creating a distinctive yet inconsistent aesthetic.
“The style is a unique blend of the original's graphics, combined with Legacy's line patterns.”
“The style is a weird mesh of the original's graphics, but with Legacy's line patterns.”
