The gameplay is deceptively simple yet rich in depth, featuring a variety of costumes that each offer unique powers and mechanics. This diversity allows for clever and creative use in community levels, reminiscent of an indie Mario Maker with a 'kitchen sink' design philosophy that incorporates various gameplay elements.
“It might appear simple at first, but there's a surprising layer of depth with all the various costumes (each one having its own unique power) and different mechanics - many of them being used in a very clever way in community levels.”
“Indie Mario Maker with a 'kitchen sink' design philosophy - the costume power-ups range from the Solomon's Key block mechanic to Worms-style projectile aiming.”
“The gameplay feels overly simplistic and lacks the depth needed to keep players engaged for long periods.”
“The controls are unresponsive at times, making it frustrating to execute even the simplest of actions.”
“There are numerous bugs that disrupt the gameplay experience, leading to unexpected deaths and a lack of enjoyment.”

The story aspect of the game is highly flexible due to user-generated content, allowing players to create and communicate their own narratives through level design. Additionally, the game is an updated version of "Costume Quest," which resonates with players who have nostalgic connections to the original.
“The user-generated content allows for a unique storytelling experience, as the actual plot can be whatever you communicate in the levels you design.”
“I first played Costume Quest (which this is an updated version of) when I had just turned 30 years old.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative arc.”
“Character development is shallow, making it hard to connect with anyone in the game.”
“The plot twists are predictable and fail to engage the player.”
