Gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring a solid concept that offers at least an hour of playtime, especially for speedrunners. However, many users report frustrating mechanics, such as inconsistent wall running, which detracts from the overall experience. On a positive note, the teleportation feature with the kunai adds an enjoyable movement element that enhances the fun of time trials.
“Being able to teleport with the kunai was a really great movement mechanic, and I had a lot of fun just trying to beat my own best times.”
“Not very good at all, mechanics don't work half the time. For example, wall running just happens every single time you touch a wall, and it's annoying.”
“Pretty good, great idea, but executed in an eh way. It has at least an hour of gameplay, more if you're speedrunning.”

The game's graphics exceed initial expectations, though they appear to rely heavily on assets from external sources. However, players note a lack of graphic customization options and criticize the motion blur effect as subpar.
“The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it seems like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or elsewhere.”
“Lacks graphic customization; motion blur is awful.”
