- “If you are looking for a fun retro-themed game with a nice challenge and addictive gameplay, this is definitely a worthy purchase.”
- “Although to get down to basics, Miles & Kilo is a platformer at heart, where the player controls either Miles or Kilo depending on the level. Each character has different gameplay styles; Miles offers traditional platforming with full control, while Kilo dashes forward uncontrollably, only able to jump and dash into enemies, which can be challenging as he cannot stop himself.”
- “As far as potential criticisms go, my main issue is that there is no windowed mode to play on. I often enjoy being able to click away from the game and back in to do other things in the background, but this game only allows for full-screen gameplay.”

The game's story is described as endearing, revolving around a quest to recover stolen plane parts from villains, but ultimately lacks depth. After completing the story mode, players can unlock a competitive 'time attack' mode, appealing to those seeking additional challenges. Overall, while the narrative has charm, it is considered minimal in substance.
- “Each bad guy steals a part of their plane, and they go on a quest to recover their lost parts, put the plane back together, and get off this island.”
- “Once the story mode has been completed, a new gamemode unlocks called 'time attack', which acts as a recorded playthrough of all 36 levels, allowing players to race against the clock and see how fast they can complete them, with each death and failed attempt being counted—something that expert platforming fans will love for bragging rights!”
- “In any case, the story of the game is really not much of a story.”
- “Each bad guy steals a part to their plane and they go on a quest to recover their lost parts, put the plane back together and get off this island.”
- “The story is endearing and the polish is clearly evident.”

The game offers limited initial playtime, typically around four hours to complete, but features a time attack mode that unlocks after the first playthrough, enhancing its replayability, particularly for achievement hunters. Overall, while it may be short, it retains a nostalgic charm that encourages multiple playthroughs.
- “It's not a very long game, as it took me only 4 hours to get all the achievements, but there's a time attack mode that gets unlocked after you beat the game once, which adds a little bit of replay value, especially if you're going for all achievements.”
- “Somewhat short, but very replayable, like the lovable titles of the old days.”
- “It's not a very long game, as it took me only 4 hours to get all the achievements. There’s a time attack mode that gets unlocked after you beat the game once, which adds a little bit of replay value, especially if you’re going for all achievements.”

The game's optimization is well-executed, encouraging players to improve their performance through a ranking system based on objectives like coin collection and speed. This design fosters both casual play and competitive efficiency, appealing to a wide range of players while maintaining a challenging experience. Overall, the combination of engaging gameplay elements and a focus on self-improvement enhances the game's replayability.
- “Seeing as you are graded on your performance in each level via either a C, B, A, or S rank depending on how many of the three objectives of each level you meet (that being how many coins you've collected, how many fruits you've picked up, and how fast you completed the level), it encourages both casual gameplay on a player's first playthrough as well as more efficient and skilled methods for future attempts, whether for achievement hunting or for getting the best time record possible.”
- “Great soundtrack, nice pixel art, actually good bosses in a runner game, a rather high difficulty at times, and a game that pushes you to improve yourself by ranking your performance.”
- “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, making it frustrating to achieve higher ranks despite putting in the effort.”
- “I found the performance grading system to be inconsistent; sometimes it feels like no matter how well I play, I can't get a better rank.”
- “The game has potential, but the optimization issues really hinder the experience, especially when trying to complete objectives efficiently.”
