The graphics are characterized by a nostalgic 8-bit art style that appeals to fans of old-school aesthetics, complemented by a solid soundtrack. While some players appreciate the visual charm and animation quality, others note that the repetitive level design can diminish the overall experience. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's fun factor, especially for those who enjoy pixel art and retro themes.
- “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.”

The gameplay is straightforward, featuring five modes and a completion time of about 1-2 hours, depending on player skill.

The simple two-button controls enhance the experience, although the lack of customizable controls is noted as a missed opportunity.

- “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'.”
