    The gameplay is generally considered mediocre but features notable improvements over its predecessor, Clu Clu Land, including enhanced music, additional enemies, and refined stage mechanics. While the controls are simple and effective, and the story adds some value, players have noted lingering bugs that detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, many reviewers find the game enjoyable and express hope for future developments from the creator.

    • “It's Clu Clu Land but with better music, more enemies, stage mechanics, and gameplay improvements.”
    • “It's a well-designed game and a mechanic I haven't run across yet.”
    • “The game has simple but efficient controls. The story isn't original, but it's an appreciated addition all the same. The gameplay itself is nice and definitely worth a try, even if it seems the creator still hasn't gotten all the bugs out (get it, the bugs... it's a hacking game... my humor is lost in this review). It's still a good try, and personally, I hope he goes on to make more.”

Overall, the story complements the gameplay, which is enjoyable despite some lingering bugs.

    • “The game has simple but efficient controls. The story isn't original, but it's an appreciated addition all the same. The gameplay itself is nice and definitely worth a try.”
    • “A tiny story that, while somewhat unoriginal, wasn't a bad addition.”
    • “When I booted up the game, I was introduced to a story about a young girl whose life has been ruined by a greedy individual who just wants to rule over the less fortunate.”
    • “The game has simple but efficient controls; the story isn't original, but it's an appreciated addition all the same.”
    • “Apparently, if you wait for the story text to fade and click it as it does, there's a chance the game will become unresponsive and not load the levels.”
