Ortheo has a solid foundation with enjoyable gameplay mechanics and potential for future improvements.
The latest update has significantly improved the game, with fluid controls, better level design, and a great soundtrack.
For its price, Ortheo offers a fun experience and is consistently receiving updates and new features.

The game suffers from numerous bugs, poor camera controls, and unfinished level design, making it feel like a tech demo.
Visuals and environments are lacking, and the sparse enemy encounters contribute to a less engaging experience.
Many players have expressed disappointment with the overall polish and quality, suggesting it should not be sold at its current state.

The gameplay is described as a mix of collect-a-thon mechanics in small open-world areas, featuring dashing and jumping, but it struggles with execution, leading to occasional bugs and confusion in level design. While the overall experience is solid with good art and animations, some levels feel underdeveloped, resembling a tech demo. Players find potential in the movement mechanics for speedrunning and exploration, but improvements are needed for a smoother experience.
- “Most importantly, focus on the gameplay and how you want it to go because this shows a collect-a-thon in small open world areas where you dash, jump, and gain speed that would have to be executed really well to work.”
- “I finally bought and played the game like I've wanted to for about a year now and it's a really solid experience all throughout, with solid gameplay, art, and animations, but it feels a little buggy and confusing at times.”
- “Definitely would be a fun game to pick apart and speedrun/exploit the movement mechanics.”
- “I like the idea and the character, but this is a Hat in Time meets the gameplay of Mort the Chicken, and even then that game looked and played better than this 99 cent game.”

- “I finally bought and played the game like I've wanted to for about a year now and it's a really solid experience all throughout, solid gameplay and art and animations, but it feels a little buggy and confusing at times, like a couple of levels had more gears than the HUD said it did and a part of the ice level was kind of confusing, as well as the levels feeling like a tech demo.”

The music in the game is highly praised, with many users noting that the original soundtrack (OST) is energetic and enhances the overall experience. The combination of fun gameplay mechanics and fluid controls complements the engaging music, contributing to a fast-paced and enjoyable atmosphere.
- “The new controls are fluid and fun to use, the level design is a massive step up, and the OST goes crazy.”
