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 certain mechanics, such as quicksand, can be frustrating and require unconventional solutions, while bugs and poor level design detract from the overall experience. Despite some good core jumping mechanics, the execution leaves much to be desired.
“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 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, walking in the opposite direction from where you are gliding barely slows you down.”
“Some of the mechanics introduced later in the game were a bit awkward.”
“The quicksand mechanic feels really awkward; I found a solution to it by doing three tiny jumps followed by a full jump at the top of each bit of quicksand.”

Users report that the game's stability is questionable, with some experiencing confusion and frustration due to unclear objectives and buggy mechanics, particularly in later areas. The need to excessively spam the jump button further detracts from the overall experience.
“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.”
