The gameplay is highlighted for its engaging 2D and 3D camera mechanics, which add a unique twist to the experience, although some players find the menu navigation cumbersome when using keyboard and mouse. The challenge level is well-received, striking a balance between difficulty and enjoyment, while the art style and catchy soundtrack enhance the overall appeal. Despite some initial reservations about the 2D to 3D swapping mechanic, players appreciate its importance in gameplay and the nostalgic feel reminiscent of older GameCube titles.
“I still recommend this game though, it has a catchy soundtrack and a fun core mechanic of changing between 2D and 3D (even when it's kind of hard to get used to). It's also fun how you have to freaking die (not literally, just become a ghost) to fight enemies.”
“Adore the art style and love the gameplay. I haven't gotten to the second boss, but the first one is tough enough for me to love it; good challenge but not infuriatingly hard.”
“The 2D to 3D mechanic I thought I was going to hate, but it becomes important, and playing around with it to see if you can speed up your runs is enjoyable.”
“When you play with keyboard and mouse, it is very annoying to have to interact with the menus using the mouse when you don't use it in gameplay. All menus should be usable with the keyboard only.”
“The first thing I noticed, even before playing, was how much this game reminds me of the old games on GameCube with its mechanics.”
“The 2D to 3D mechanic I thought I was going to hate, but it becomes important, and playing around with it to see if you can speed up your runs is quite engaging.”
