The gameplay is criticized for becoming overly complex after the initial stage, with mechanics that struggle to support the advanced level design, leading to frustration rather than enjoyable challenge. While it may appeal to speedrunners, the overall mechanics are deemed lackluster, limiting the game's appeal to a broader audience.
“It's not difficult to the point of needing to do it over and over again, which can be really fun since you overcome a challenge and perfect your gameplay.”
“The gameplay is filled with sharp angles, holes, and loops that create a unique challenge.”
“The mechanics of the game provide a satisfying experience as you navigate through various levels.”
“However, after the first stage, the game simply devolves into levels that are just too advanced for the mechanics to facilitate.”
“It's filled with sharp angles, holes, and loops which the game's mechanics are just not ready for.”
“It simply has nothing to offer to anyone except a speedrunner, and for speedrunners, there is the issue of lackluster mechanics.”
