The graphics are characterized by a nostalgic 8-bit art style that appeals to fans of old-school aesthetics, complemented by a solid visual presentation and a fitting soundtrack. However, some players note that the repetitive level design diminishes the initial charm. Overall, the game's graphics and animation, despite their simplicity, contribute to an enjoyable experience, especially for fans of pixel art and endless runners.
- “Infinite runners come a dime a dozen, and this one even has some flappy bird style modes, but with an incredibly solid visual style and a nice soundtrack it makes a pretty fun experience regardless. Its animation has some amazing key frames; nothing has more than 3 frames of animation yet it feels really good to jump, fly around, and kill stuff. If you like endless runners, good pixel art, or just this old English horror aesthetic, it's a fine product for its price.”
- “It's three dollars, it's fun, and oh, the graphics and soundtrack are fantastic.”
- “I was drawn in by the admittedly great 8-bit art style, but all the 'levels' look the same, so the appeal quickly wears off.”
- “The graphics are old school, and the sound is the same, but it's everything you need for a great time.”

The gameplay is straightforward, featuring five modes and a completion time of 1-2 hours based on skill level. While it offers a mix of side-scrolling styles and endless levels, many users liken it to a mobile runner or Flappy Bird clone, with only two buttons for control and no customization options. The accompanying soundtrack enhances the experience, aligning well with the game's simple yet engaging mechanics.
- “The soundtrack is actually pretty fun to listen to and it matches the theme; it keeps you engaged in the gameplay, which is also really simple, with only 2 buttons to press (there's no option to change the controls, though, it would be awesome if there was).”
- “Matches the intensity of the gameplay.”
- “It turns out 'mash-up of side-scrolling gameplay styles' and 'endless procedurally generated levels' actually mean 'mobile store runner/flappy bird clone'.”
- “Gameplay is simple and has 5 modes to choose from, and you can 100% it in around 1 to 2 hours depending on your skill.”
- “The soundtrack is actually pretty fun to listen to and it matches the theme, keeping you engaged in the gameplay, which is also really simple with only 2 buttons to press (there's no option to change the controls, though; it would be awesome if there was).”

The story aspect of the game is not heavily emphasized in user reviews, with players primarily focusing on its fun gameplay mechanics rather than a narrative. The collaboration between Freak Zone Games and Nicalis suggests a blend of quirky and engaging elements typical of their previous titles, but specific story details remain vague. Overall, the narrative seems to take a backseat to the game's entertaining runner format.
