The gameplay is straightforward, featuring five modes and a completion time of about 1-2 hours, depending on player skill. While it combines side-scrolling elements with endless procedurally generated levels, it has been likened to a mobile runner or Flappy Bird clone. The simple two-button control scheme is engaging, complemented by a fun soundtrack that enhances the overall experience, though the lack of customizable controls is noted as a drawback.

“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 gameplay is really simple, with only 2 buttons to press (there's no option to change the controls, though; it would be awesome if there was).”
