The music in the game is widely praised for its high quality, catchy melodies, and cutesy, ambient vibes that enhance the overall experience. Reviewers highlight the soundtrack as both nostalgic and addictive, complementing the game's visuals and mechanics, making it a significant draw for players. Overall, the music contributes to a fun and engaging atmosphere, despite the game's simplicity and occasional frustration.
“The music is cutesy and somewhat relaxing, yet ambient, while the sound effects are bubbly, energetic, and retro.”
“Amazing game, love the mechanics, love the music and love the art style but don't get fooled, this game ain't easy.”
“Its a very simple and somewhat frustrating game in the sense that you have only one button and its very easy to screw up and have to restart a level all over again, but the super cutesy saccharine pixel art aesthetic with adorable lover cats and the really high quality music along with the general elevated challenge in trying to learn and navigate the levels makes it fun!”
“Its simple and seems very much akin to those simple flash games you might find online, albeit much prettier and with better music.”
“Its not deep or complicated or anything, but its a nice way to pass the time and the devs are clearly talented, at the very least when it comes to pixel art and music.”

The gameplay features engaging arcade swinging mechanics paired with skill-based level design that progressively increases in difficulty, providing a satisfying challenge. While the simple mechanics are easy to grasp, players will find themselves facing frustratingly tough levels as they advance. The combination of nostalgic one-click controls, appealing aesthetics, and a catchy soundtrack contributes to an addictive experience, though some players may desire additional animations and mechanics to enhance the overall feel.
“Arcade swinging mechanics in a level design that repeatedly offers skill challenges that leave you with a sense of satisfaction when you overcome them.”
“Amazing game, love the mechanics, love the music and love the art style but don't get fooled, this game ain't easy.”
“The swinging mechanic is fun and satisfying, while the level design brings a nice challenge.”
“The concept is simple and the levels are short, but you might find yourself getting frustrated at points for how well it executes its mechanics.”
“While world 1 has close to no hazards and a flat roof (perfect for learning the game and how its one mechanic works), world 4 ramps it up to the point where there is no room for error anywhere, making for frustratingly difficult levels to try and pass, let alone achieve 100%.”
“But, if you want to make this game become the best version of itself, you need to push things further. I would add animations in the background to give it more life, more sprites (the standing one is great, by the way), and maybe you can even go for new mechanics and a story.”
