The gameplay features a fresh and intuitive double platforming mechanic that becomes increasingly engaging as new elements like respawn and block-moving blocks are introduced. While the controls initially feel a bit clunky, jump timing is consistent, and the integration of multiple mechanics offers enjoyable and innovative puzzle-solving. However, some players feel the game could benefit from additional features such as a level skip or bullet time to address pacing or difficulty.
- “The intersecting mechanic was novel and allowed for enjoyable puzzle solving.”
- “I especially like how the later mechanics (purple respawn-point blocks, yellow block-moving blocks, and others) mesh with the game's main two-track mechanic; it was fun to see how they all interacted.”
- “The game's mechanics ramp up at a good pace, having none of the special blocks at start and each added after a set number of levels.”
- “The controls felt a bit clunky at first, making the gameplay initially awkward.”
- “The gameplay requires precision platforming or the unneeded use of a repetitive mechanic, which can be frustrating.”
- “A skip level feature, unlocking all levels by default, or a bullet time mechanic would improve the gameplay experience.”

The music in the game is a relaxing, ambient soundtrack that perfectly complements the puzzle gameplay, contributing to a calm and immersive atmosphere. While some note a limited number of tracks initially, more music becomes available after level 30. Overall, the music, along with the UI and visuals, creates a soothing and cohesive experience.
- “The background music is a relaxing ambient that completely complements a puzzle game.”
- “Pros: decent music (another review claims that there are only two tracks, but there is more music after level 30).”
- “The UI and music fulfill this idea by offering calm earthly colors, wonderful animations, platform design, and chilling music at all times.”

- “With simple controls, clear instructions, and a minimalistic aesthetic appeal, Intersection proves to be both an enjoyable and exciting game.”

Grinding between levels 25-30 is described as tedious and frustrating, focusing more on repetitive movement patterns rather than thoughtful puzzle-solving.
- “For me, levels 25-30 were a tedious, frustrating slog.”
- “Thus, levels 25-30 were more about grinding specific movement patterns than thinking about how the puzzle should be solved.”

The story is minimal and unfolds subtly through select levels, featuring a quirky and understated narrative that may be better appreciated by patient players with strong platforming skills.
- “A more patient player (or one with better platforming skills) will likely get more enjoyment out of what is a quirky little game, but that is not my story.”
- “Additionally, the game has a small story that unfolds through a few select levels with a DOS screen behind a single platform.”

The game experiences brief freezing when starting a level for the first time in a session, but this issue is resolved by returning to the menu and reloading the level. Overall, stability is generally stable aside from this minor initial freeze.
