The gameplay has been criticized for its awkward mechanics, particularly the ice and glide systems, which feel less intuitive compared to similar games like Jump King. Players have noted that the controls can be frustrating, with some mechanics, such as quicksand, requiring unconventional solutions. Overall, while the core jumping mechanics are solid, bugs and poor level design detract significantly from the experience.
“While similar in style and gameplay to Jump King, this game is its own devil.”
“Despite the core jump mechanics and design being good, basically the same as Jump King, the game is ruined to me anyway by bugs and often times awful level design.”
“The ice and glide mechanic is much worse than in Jump King; in this game, you have to jump up to stop the gliding, which just doesn't feel good. Also, just walking in the opposite direction from where you are gliding barely slows you down.”
“The quicksand mechanic feels really awkward; I found a solution to it by doing three tiny jumps then a full jump at the top of each bit of quicksand.”
“The ice mechanic also feels unintuitive; to cancel your momentum in this game, you have to jump upwards once.”

Users report significant stability issues, particularly in the later areas of the game, where confusion about progression and excessive button spamming contribute to a frustrating experience. The gameplay is likened to a buggy version of other titles, indicating a lack of polish and clarity in design.
“I got to the 6th area in 13 minutes and proceeded to spend the next 20 confused about what the developer intends for me to do to proceed. It's like Antumbra in Jump King map 3, but buggy and requires spamming the jump button much more.”
