The game's music aspect has been criticized for its complete absence, with users expressing frustration over the lack of any background music or sound effects. The developer's intention to allow players to use their own music instead has not resonated well, leading to a perception that the game feels empty and lacking in engagement. Overall, the absence of music contributes to a sense of monotony and disconnection from the gameplay experience.
“No effects, no background music, nothing.”
“The developer himself, who has only this game on Steam by the way, tells us in the store page that intentionally he hadn't even put the most boring NES platformer music just because the player can relax and put on his favorite YouTube video.”
“There is no sound, no music, no enemies, nothing to collect, no goal, it's just a whole lot of nothing!”

The graphics of the game are described as a mix of poor quality retro sprites and repetitive visuals, leading to a lack of variety across levels. While some players find the graphics enjoyable, the overall aesthetic suffers from linearity and sameness, detracting from the gameplay experience.
“This game basically runs as a platformer and has some quite enjoyable graphics overall.”
“Besides the poor quality of this retro sprite graphic sidescrolling platformer, the developer is trolling the achievement community with unreasonable changes.”
“All the levels look quite the same; the graphics are repetitive, and the mechanics are linear. You find yourself jumping from one platform to another, often falling off cliffs due to poor response, only to finish a level that looks identical to the last one.”

The gameplay is criticized for being choppy and repetitive, with linear mechanics that lead to a lack of engagement. Players note that levels are visually similar and poorly designed, resulting in frustrating experiences due to unresponsive controls. Overall, the game fails to offer meaningful content or variety.
“Overall, the game is not worth a price of any sort with choppy gameplay, lack of content, and just underwhelming assets altogether.”
“All the levels look quite the same, the graphics are the same, and the mechanics too; they're linear and require you to jump here and there and fall from the cliffs due to the poor response, so that you'll get on again another platform and eventually finish the level and move on to a level looking the same as the one you had just finished.”

The story is largely absent, with players noting a lack of plot or character development, resulting in a brief experience that feels more like a series of platforming challenges than a cohesive narrative.
“There is no plot or development of any sort, so you're just jumping from platform to platform for about 15-20 minutes until you see the credits scroll and that's it.”

The game's stability is criticized due to significant bugs affecting the achievement system, leading to inconsistent experiences for players. Many report that achievements fail to trigger properly, causing frustration and confusion, particularly for those who spend considerable time playing.
“The achievements are implemented in a buggy way that works differently from player to player, often stopping and restarting at random. You'll see players with 20 hours spent idling without knowing if or when they'll start to pop up.”
“The game frequently crashes, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing significant progress. Stability is a major issue that needs to be addressed.”
“I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which made the gameplay frustrating and unenjoyable. The stability of the game is severely lacking.”
