The game features a fun and engaging typing experience, especially for fans of internet slang.
The hidden platformer mode, 'Endless Nightmare', adds significant content and is enjoyable to play.
The art style and music are charming, contributing to an overall pleasant atmosphere.

The main typing game is extremely short, taking only about 10-15 minutes to complete, which feels insufficient for the price.
There are significant bugs and control issues, particularly in the platformer mode, making it frustrating for players using a keyboard.
The lack of variety in the typing levels, with repeated dialogue and word lists, detracts from the overall experience.

The gameplay experience is generally viewed as lacking depth and brevity, with most players reporting around 15 to 60 minutes of content, primarily centered on a hidden platformer rather than the advertised typing game. While the platformer features enjoyable level design and a bullet hell finale, many feel the game is overpriced for its short duration and limited variety, leading to recommendations for purchasing only during sales. Overall, the gameplay is seen as fun but ultimately underwhelming and not worth the full price.
- “The game has a 'secret' game inside of it that is actually longer than the typing game and it was a pleasant surprise, very fun and well-made with nice level design and different bosses, with a gameplay shift into a bullet hell at the end, clocking at around 1 hour of gameplay more or less depending if you get stuck at some part or if you decide to 100% it or not.”
- “The 2D platformer was polished (besides a quickly patched bug) with great gameplay and music, although it was unfortunately just under an hour long.”
- “It's good and fun for what it is, but $8 for maybe an hour of gameplay feels rough.”
- “I do not recommend this game at full price; please buy during a major sale because the gameplay is very basic and takes less than an hour to do all the achievements.”
- “It's very boring, and you realistically only have around 15 minutes or less of gameplay.”
- “The actual 2D platformer game feels clunky and only has one type of enemy and not a lot of mechanical depth; some parts of it feel like they were just not even tested whatsoever.”

- “The typing game only has three levels, and the only real difference is the music from each one and the background.”

The reviews highlight a significant lack of story and context in the game "Endless Nightmare," with many users expressing disappointment over its minimal narrative contribution and absence of backstory.

Overall, the consensus is that the game fails to deliver meaningful content, making it hard to justify its price.
- “I'm really happy with the awesome ame-chan platformer game 'Endless Nightmare' seemingly inspired by Kirby and Undertale and others (especially Cave Story with level up, great!), it's great.”
- “Anyways, yeah, kinda plays like a fan game, I recommend Petit Game Collection Vol 1 over this just because of how peak the mini visual novel is in that game, and I'm sure most people engaging with these bonus games are people who played NSO/NGO and love the story and character, so you'll get to see more of Ame by playing that.”
- “The game could have used some story, backstory, or context, like what it's supposed to be going on?”
