The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, varied challenges, and excellent level design, striking a balance between difficulty and quality of life features. While the core gameplay is engaging and complemented by a great soundtrack, some players noted issues with the death mechanic affecting resource management. Overall, it offers a fun action platforming experience with exploration and progression elements.
- “A fun action platformer with world map-based exploration/progression, level-up mechanics, plenty of fun secrets, a good story, and an excellent soundtrack by Eliteferrex.”

- “Solid core gameplay and enemy design wouldn't be much without some great level design to back it up, and I feel the game shines here as well.”
