“The story is very simple, but it's cute.”
“The story is lame and boring, but for a 10-minute game to play, it deserves a download.”

The gameplay is generally described as simplistic and reminiscent of classic platformers like Cave Story, featuring basic side-scrolling shooting and jumping mechanics. While some players appreciate the charm and polish of the game, others criticize its level design and floaty controls, noting that it lacks depth and content. Overall, it offers a short but enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the previous title, Pink Hour, with some new mechanics and replayability through different endings.
“The controls have been tightened and there are new mechanics that make it worthwhile.”
“This 12-minute, free, mechanically simplistic platformer has more heart, charm, and polish than most 60-hour+ AAA games.”
“Short and sweet with a great soundtrack and appealing gameplay.”
“Gameplay is below even free-to-play standards.”
“Supershort, boring gameplay and floaty controls.”
“I experienced disappointing gameplay, such as when I would try to jump to a moving platform and the game read it as I missed the platform when I clearly did not.”
