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.
