The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its simplistic mechanics, clunky controls, and confusing level designs, particularly regarding inconsistent wind mechanics and excessive visual effects. While some appreciate the puzzle elements and unique character-switching feature, the overall experience is marred by a lack of depth and frustrating gameplay issues, leading to disappointment despite the game's appealing art and sound.
- “One thing I can say that may not be for everyone is the two-player based gameplay. The game is single-player, so you must switch from one character to the other to use their special abilities. Rather than one character getting through a course, you must get two characters through the course, which creates some slight repetitiveness, but it is mostly hidden as the characters tend to go through the levels in different ways.”
- “Gameplay is alright, but the controls are a tad slow when the characters move. They wish it was a bit faster as they move very slowly when climbing to the next platform. It doesn't help when getting chased, as the AI doesn't follow you at times, which can be really annoying since you die in one hit. However, the puzzle mechanics are very solid, plus the unique way of making bridges for yourself to progress is really cool.”
- “Honest and non-misleading gameplay.”
- “However, the game mechanics are extremely bland and do not get more interesting over the short lifespan of the game.”
- “Platformer mechanics are extremely bad; this game feels almost like it was made with a 1980s platforming engine, with modern-day art pasted on top.”
- “All of these problems, together with the fact that it doesn't checkpoint you, made me quit this game after barely an hour of gameplay.”
