Intrusion Protocol offers solid controls and mechanics, making the challenging platforming feel fair and rewarding, with most deaths attributed to player error.
The game is designed with speedrunning in mind, providing a fun and engaging experience for players who enjoy racing against the clock.

Audio elements, including sound effects and music, are underwhelming and do not enhance the overall experience as expected.
The difficulty spike in the final level can be jarring, and the lack of clear indications for secret areas may frustrate players trying to explore fully.
