The gameplay is highly polished and complemented by retro-inspired art and catchy music, creating an engaging experience. However, some players find the water mechanics to slow down the fast-paced action, and there are suggestions for additional features, such as character looping or teleporters, to enhance level design.
“The gameplay is polished, the art is retro-amazing, and the music is 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 mechanics 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; other than that, I don't have complaints.”
