The gameplay is characterized by a standard yet effective design typical of the genre, featuring quick attack speeds and a smooth difficulty curve that appeals to retro game enthusiasts. While the mechanics, such as double jumps and wall slides, are well-executed, many players desire more combat variety and feel that the lack of invulnerability frames for bosses leads to a less engaging experience. Overall, the game offers satisfying gameplay and enjoyable two-player co-op, but it may not stand out due to its limited attack options and conventional mechanics.
- “It inhabits a fine smooth difficulty curve on normal and expert. It also provides a classic life system as a gameplay feature, which becomes even more significant if you play on expert where you have to play through the game without losing all lives.”
- “The gameplay is pretty standard for the genre, but it works very well. The traditional double jump and wall slide had perfect timing in my opinion.”
- “It's nothing new, but it scratches that itch for retro games with simple, but challenging gameplay.”
- “Most bosses lack invulnerability frames or mechanics, which allows you to, with your quick attack speed, obliterate them right after they appear on screen or you can just be cheap by electing to attack without worrying about enemy blows knowing your attack speed will deplete their HP faster than they can deplete yours.”
- “[limited attack options, gameplay doesn't stand out from others in the genre, great hi-res sprite artwork, but in-game sprites leave something to be desired.]”
- “[u] I wanted more combat variety [/u] - I don't mind simple games where you spam the same attack for 4 hours, but even if you look at games like Ninja Gaiden from 30+ years ago, you can still add some sub-weapons without breaking that gameplay style.”

The story of "Infinite Beyond the Mind" is described as short and somewhat vague, taking less than two hours to complete, which may appeal to players who prefer gameplay over narrative. While some find the lack of a traditional engaging story a drawback, others appreciate the weirdness and potential for deeper environmental storytelling, suggesting that it invites speculation and exploration of its lore. Overall, the narrative is minimal and often feels disconnected from the gameplay experience.
- “If you like to speculate, you may have your fun 'lorewise'; I think there is some deeper environmental storytelling to it.”
- “Ah yeah, one other thing: the story is really weird. There is a secret minigame which seems to be full of meaning, but I couldn't make anything out of it. Interesting nonetheless, but the game confronts you with weird stuff all along, with almost no context.”
- “Conclusion: Infinite Beyond the Mind is a pixel platform game that looks like the old school with few buttons, with enemies that at first take a while to kill, and as you advance in the game, they fall in record time. A short story, at most it takes less than 2 hours to complete the game.”
- “The story is really weird; there is a secret minigame that seems to be full of meaning, but I couldn't make anything out of it. It's interesting nonetheless, but the game confronts you with weird stuff all along, with almost no context.”
- “The story is quite easy to summarize in a few words, and it feels very short, taking less than 2 hours to complete the game. If you don't like squeezing a game too much, the normal difficulty is for you, as it has saves between levels, but if you die, you will have to start the level from the beginning.”
- “If you like to speculate, you may find some fun 'lore-wise', but I think there is some deeper environmental storytelling to it.”
