The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, featuring a blend of simple mechanics and procedural generation that can lead to both enjoyable and frustrating experiences.

- “Just get through is a 2D platformer with randomly generated levels that combines fast-paced gameplay with roguelike elements to create an enjoyable experience.”

Overall, the consensus is that the game fails to provide any substantial story or hook to captivate players.

- “- I wish there was just maybe the slightest bit of storyline.”
- “The developer was unable to come up with decent level design or game/story flow/plot, so they opted to try to use samey repetitive procedural generation as a substitute for adding content to the game.”
- “I thought something might happen with it, but the game has no story, so it was just cosmetic, I guess.”
- “No story to speak of, and gameplay that's certainly far from good enough to make up for that.”
