- A huge improvement over previous Luxor games, featuring new power-ups and engaging gameplay.

- Medium and high difficulty levels become extremely challenging, with some levels feeling nearly impossible to complete.
- Lack of support for colorblind players and no option to change difficulty without losing progress.
- The art style may not appeal to everyone, and some players feel the game was unnecessary to remake.

The music in the game is characterized by a repetitive "panic" theme that becomes prominent around stage 8, which may detract from the overall experience for some players.
“Expect to hear nothing but panic music starting at about stage 8”
