The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising the core mechanics and fast-paced action, particularly the momentum and wall-jumping elements, while others criticize the clunky controls and tedious gameplay loop. Although the game offers a satisfying experience for speedrunning and casual play, many feel that the simplistic level design and basic visuals detract from its potential. Overall, while the gameplay can be enjoyable, it lacks depth and polish, leaving some players wanting more.
- “The game mechanics are built heavily around momentum and wall-jumping, which is most of what you do to chain throughout the levels in order to perfect your run times.”
- “Overall really well made, with satisfying fast-paced gameplay, fun to kill a few hours with.”
- “The core mechanics feel solid and are satisfying.”
- “The minimalistic aesthetics are not nearly enough to salvage the tedious gameplay loop and clunky controls.”
- “The single player content (just speedrunning the game trying to get to the top of the leaderboards or trying to farm the achievements) also doesn't seem too interesting to me, although I like both of those things in games where the core gameplay resonates with me more deeply.”
- “In a game where the gameplay is uniquely about jumping and running around, if you built a physics engine that makes you feel as heavy and agile as an elephant, you did it wrong.”

The story in Inmomentum is virtually non-existent, lacking any introduction or context for the player's actions, such as gliding and collecting orbs. This absence of narrative leaves players without a clear motivation for their gameplay.
- “Inmomentum does not have any story or introduction as to why you are gliding and floating around on platforms collecting orbs and doing time trials.”

The game's stability is somewhat compromised by buggy netcode, which affects the multiplayer experience, and players also note a limited selection of courses as a drawback. Despite these issues, the overall gameplay remains enjoyable.
- “It's fun, and the multiplayer mode is interesting for racing with friends, though a lack of good courses is a hindrance, and the netcode is a little buggy.”
