- “The gameplay is fluid and you can collect the monsters to work on your slave labor camp; this game is something else.”
- “The gameplay itself is very reminiscent of classic platformers like Sonic, though rather than trying to finish each level as fast as possible, you need to find and kill specific monsters in each zone in order to progress.”

- “The only big issue is what made this game get panned by critics: the controls are totally messy and interfere a lot with gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is very straightforward with not much room to think about.”
- “The gameplay itself is very reminiscent of classic platformers like Sonic, though rather than trying to finish each level as fast as possible, you need to find and kill specific monsters in each zone in order to progress; the game also has some Metroidvania mechanics, as doors get unlocked after a certain number of monsters killed, and you can also get upgrades that allow you to access previously locked areas.”
