The gameplay is generally engaging and features classic mechanics like trampolines and cannons, offering a colorful and humorous experience. However, it can become repetitive over time, and some players feel that the game could benefit from introducing new mechanics as it progresses. While the level design may take some getting used to, the overall gameplay is solid, well-optimized, and combines twitch elements with clever puzzles.
- “This kind of thing would lead to a whole bunch of creative ways of utilizing the mechanics of the game.”
- “It's a nice blend of twitch gameplay embedded with clever puzzles that can really make you think.”
- “Interesting and engaging gameplay, though it gets repetitive after a while.”
- “The gameplay will take a bit to get used to because of how the levels are laid out.”
- “The store page video shows accurate gameplay and level detail, but you might want to see more of a few levels in order to decide if this is a game for you.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its funky and cool vibe, particularly noting the influence of Les Claypool's work. However, there are criticisms regarding the recycling of tracks from previous titles, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, the music contributes positively to the game's colorful and humorous presentation.
- “The music is really funky and cool.”
- “Yes, I do dislike the 3-star rating per level thing, but seeing that Les Claypool's music is in this game as well makes up for it.”
- “Nothing prepared me for the screeching voice of my decomposing lover, the ooze and crunch of a pill bug under mushroom legs, all while a five-second music clip loops just irregularly enough to never let my mind rest.”
- “Cons: music is recycled from Spore Wars and the keyboard controls are a bit confusing.”
- “Unfortunate, as I like the visuals a lot (despite the abusive reuse of backgrounds), same appreciation for the music, and the various mechanics are classic fun (trampolines, cannons, slippery floors, sticky floors...) great presentation, colorful and humorous.”

It features four sections with various missions that challenge players to race against time or the antagonist, adding urgency to the gameplay. While the narrative is straightforward, its comedic elements are well-suited to the game's overall tone.
- “The story of the game is quite simple, with Pax, the main character, being stuck in a nightmare with the 'Truffle Princess' trying to get to him.”
- “This...is...hilarious... but the story is so obvious that it only really works in this game.”

The game performs well overall, but users report a lack of information for keyboard and mouse controls, uncertainty about their functionality, and a poorly designed user interface that detracts from the experience.
