The gameplay of the platformer is characterized by its simplicity and addictive nature, but it suffers from a lack of variety and depth, with players expressing a desire for more levels and advanced mechanics like double jumps or unique elements to enhance movement. Additionally, the absence of controller support and frustrating boss mechanics detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed reviews.
“I just wish there were more levels, as I hope the platforming could further develop with possibly a double jump or wall jump mechanic, or maybe something like the bouncy mushrooms, which is a niche mechanic that nonetheless lets you move through the levels in a flowing manner.”
“Mommy is a 2D platformer with pixel graphics and simple but addictive gameplay.”
“Therefore, I already have experience with the mechanics.”

“I just wish there were more levels to be honest, as I wish that the platforming could further develop with possibly a double jump or wall jump mechanic, or maybe something like the bouncy mushrooms, where it is a more niche mechanic that nonetheless lets you move through the levels in a flowing manner.”
