Beautiful pixel art and charming animations enhance the visual experience.
The game is simple and can be enjoyable for casual play, making it a suitable choice for a rainy day.
No major bugs were encountered during gameplay, indicating a level of polish in the technical aspects.

Repetitive areas, lack of enemy variety, and simplistic boss mechanics lead to a dull gameplay experience.
Poorly designed level layouts and nonsensical teleportation points hinder exploration and progression.
Awkward controls, lack of customization options, and minimal story contribute to an overall uninspired experience.

The music in the game is described as boring and repetitive, with a short loop that contributes to an overall sense of monotony. This lack of variety in the soundtrack mirrors the game's level design and enemy encounters, leading to a frustrating and uninspired experience.
- “The maps are boring and repetitive, the music is boring and repetitive (and on a surprisingly short loop), the enemies all feel poorly designed, especially in the forest area.”
- “Two extremely repetitive areas (cave and forest), no enemy variety, bosses with one attack each, a terribly restrictive and poorly placed teleport system, level design that feels like it was procedurally generated, awkward unrebindable controls, repetitive music, annoying sound effects, nonsensical dialogue, basically no story, and even with the short runtime it seems as though the game wasn't finished.”

The game's story is virtually nonexistent, with players noting a lack of narrative depth and coherence, alongside repetitive environments and minimal enemy variety. The level design feels haphazard, contributing to an overall impression that the game is unfinished and lacks engaging storytelling elements.
- “Two extremely repetitive areas (cave and forest), no enemy variety, bosses with one attack each, a terribly restrictive and poorly placed teleport system, level design that feels like it was procedurally generated, awkward unrebindable controls, repetitive music, annoying sound effects, nonsensical dialogue, basically no story, and even with the short runtime it seems as though the game wasn't finished.”
- “There is no story, only a handful of enemies, and the map is nonsensical.”

The gameplay is criticized for being uninspired and lackluster, compounded by frustrating enemy types and poorly placed warp points, leading to a negative overall recommendation.
- “This, together with annoying enemy types and lack of good placement of warp points, informs my overall recommendation to not play this game. Otherwise, it is simply an uninspired game with lackluster gameplay.”
