The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, primarily relying on a single button for various actions, yet it remains enjoyable with mechanics like wall jumping and double jumps. While the initial levels offer a rich variety of paths and secrets, the pacing slows down in the middle, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience. Despite some criticisms, the charming world and delightful gameplay elements help mitigate the lack of difficulty.
