Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players experiencing frustrating lag and a lack of narrative elements, which detracts from the overall experience. However, the mechanics are praised for their precision and potential for speedrunning, with future updates promising built-in speedrun features and leaderboards. Despite its challenges, the game's unique style and atmosphere appeal to genre enthusiasts looking to hone their skills.
- “The gameplay mechanics feel perfect, and it is a great candidate for speedrunning.”
- “Despite the lack of a record system and the raised difficulty, the unique gameplay style, nostalgic atmosphere, and surreal landscapes make this game a worthy addition to the collection of any lover of the genre who wishes to test their skills.”
- “We need leaderboards (friends/global), we need a timer, we need mechanics that gamify the loop of each level, and give you a reason to rerun levels and find better lines.”
- “This makes the gameplay overall terrible; there are sudden noticeable issues or lag when I'm trying to fluently jump through the course. This makes it extremely frustrating and arbitrarily difficult.”
- “There's zero backstory, cut-scenes, or dialogue involved; you sort of just start playing, and the game relies entirely on the mechanics to carry it.”
- “Build-up is necessary for people to learn the mechanics, and that's just not here.”

- “Nice music, cool graphics, and overall it's just a fun experience for those of you that like parkour.”

The latest update has addressed significant performance issues, leading to improved gameplay, though some players still find the game challenging. However, the lack of optimization options, such as resolution adjustments or graphical settings, limits players' ability to enhance performance further. Overall, while recent fixes are appreciated, the absence of customizable settings remains a notable drawback.
- “To add to the above, there's no settings at all; the menus are plain. You go into the game or mute, and that's it. All you get is a lack of options... not even a way to change resolution or downgrade some things, maybe turn off the exterior lights of the map to try to improve performance.”
- “The game is still challenging and a bit too difficult with no build-up, but hopefully, it's fixed given some time.”
