The gameplay is highly polished, featuring retro-inspired art and catchy music that enhances the experience. However, some players find the water mechanics to be a hindrance to the fast-paced action, and there are suggestions for additional mechanics, such as character looping or teleporters, to improve level design. Overall, the gameplay is well-received with minor critiques.
- “The gameplay is polished, the art is retro-amazing, and the music is just absolutely insanely catchy.”
- “It'd be cool if in levels with no platforms at the bottom, the characters would 'loop' around to the top of the screen and keep falling (or maybe add some new mechanic to the game like teleporters which could accomplish the same goal and more).”
- “I disliked being in the water as it slowed down my overall fast gameplay, but other than that I don't have complaints.”
