- “This may just be me, but I think a pause menu would be nice, probably with a black screen covering the artwork or something so that you can't cheat.”

The gameplay is characterized by its easy accessibility and satisfying mechanics, complemented by beautiful art. While it offers a relaxed experience suitable for short breaks, some forced mechanics detract from its overall enjoyment, making it less recommendable despite its solid execution. The challenge of competing to find ghosts adds an engaging twist to the gameplay.
- “Easy 100% achievements, gorgeous art, and simple yet satisfying gameplay.”
- “Nevertheless, this smaller scale game is solid in gameplay and presentation and a nice way to pass some time during a short break.”
- “The execution of certain mechanics within this game makes it hard to recommend. It's a shame because if these aspects had been optional (as is the standard within this genre) rather than forced on the player, I would have provided this game with a stellar review.”
- “The gameplay is easy to pick up, but racing to find all the ghosts before others adds an unexpected challenge.”
