The gameplay is criticized for being slow and not living up to its speedrunning premise, with a simplistic platforming design that fails to engage players. However, some users appreciate the fun and challenging mechanics introduced throughout the 50 levels, suggesting a mix of frustration and enjoyment in the overall experience.
“I'm happy to say, however, that 'Hot Floor' offers a really fun 3D platformer with a lot of challenging and interesting mechanics that get added as you progress through the game's 50 levels.”
“It's supposed to be a speedrunning game, but the movement and gameplay is painfully slow.”
“Gameplay consists of negotiating a simple series of platforms, augmented by the 'floor is lava' theme, that adds less to this game than pretending the floor is lava adds to your enjoyment of being stuck inside without video games as a child before video games were widespread.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with a low-quality product priced at $4 USD and quickly relegated to shovelware bundles, which undermines the visibility of legitimate indie developers.
