The gameplay is characterized by its unique mechanics, combining shooting and movement in a way that is easy to learn but challenging to master. While the level design is varied and introduces new elements regularly, some players find the core mechanics somewhat simplistic and the gameplay can become repetitive over time. The inclusion of forgiving respawn mechanics adds a casual feel, but may lead to over-reliance on these features, potentially hindering skill development.
- “The gameplay is unique and original, being easy to learn and hard to master.”
- “The level design feels like the devs had a lot of fun getting mileage out of their mechanics, and puttering around on a broomstick is delightful.”
- “There are a ton of levels, at least 80, and the game also does a very good job of introducing cool new mechanics at a regular pace; the game never got boring for me.”
- “Would probably find a small niche but ultimately the quality of the gameplay loop is not that great, the action is confused by having to switch from using navigation from attack to movement, and it just feels very samey and clumsy.”
- “Many platformers are mechanically sparse, and end up becoming repetitive or poorly ramping up the difficulty to make up for the lack of mechanics.”
- “Besides the previously mentioned issues of limited health power-ups and occasionally hard to understand mechanics, I’d say another problem is it’s easy to become dependent on the revive feature to complete a level.”

- “There is no story in Miracle Fly.”
- “Sadly, just like the page said, it doesn't have any story.”

The game faces performance issues, particularly in levels with lighting effects, even on capable hardware like the Lenovo Y50, leading to disappointment in its optimization for a 2D title.
- “On the negative side, it has some performance issues for me on the levels with lighting effects (on a Lenovo Y50, which is powerful enough to play Arkham Asylum, so getting sluggish in a 2D game is a little disappointing).”
