The gameplay features cool mechanics that encourage quick reflexes, though some players feel that deaths often result from last-second challenges rather than innovative design. While the bounce, speed, and climb mechanics are not groundbreaking, the game offers a variety of approaches to levels, balancing straightforward paths with more unconventional strategies. The tutorial effectively introduces players to the action without overwhelming them.
“Cool mechanics.”
“Difficulty shouldn't come from challenging the player's mechanics or pulling a cheap 'we are going to move this platform in front of you when you shoot the red ball... so that you get hit lol!' Actual innovative gameplay would be nice.”
“Most of your deaths will be because of some mechanic that had to be done at the last second.”
“The bounce, speed, and climb mechanic isn't revolutionary, and I get that.”
“Thrown straight into the action with just enough tutorial direction to get you started, the gameplay allows for multiple approaches to each level, ranging from straightforward to absolutely bizarre.”
