This decision has left many players feeling frustrated, as they find the lack of any auditory elements detracts from the overall experience, leading to a sense of emptiness in gameplay.

The graphics in this retro sprite sidescrolling platformer receive mixed reviews; while some players find them enjoyable, many criticize the repetitive and low-quality visuals across levels. The linear design and poor response mechanics further detract from the overall experience, leading to a sense of monotony.
“This game basically runs as a platformer and has 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 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 another platform and eventually finish the level and move on to a level looking the same as the one you just finished.”

The game's stability is criticized due to significant bugs affecting the achievement system, which operates inconsistently across players and often fails to trigger properly. This has led to frustration, with some players spending hours idling without clear progress or understanding of when achievements will unlock.
“The achievements, which are the only reason to play this game, are implemented in a buggy way that works differently for each player. They often stop and restart at random, leading to players spending hours idling without knowing if or when the achievements will pop up.”
“The game features short and simplistic platformer levels that lack any real challenge or enemies, making the experience feel empty. Coupled with the buggy achievement system, it leaves players frustrated and questioning the value of their time spent.”
“Players are experiencing significant issues with the stability of the achievement system, which can lead to confusion and wasted time. Many have reported spending hours on the game without any clear indication of progress due to these bugs.”
