The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of interactivity and clunky mechanics, particularly when played on high-end PCs, which can lead to unstable performance. Players express frustration over the inability to properly engage with NPCs to complete quests, detracting from the overall narrative experience.
“Well, well, well, looks like I got a long story to cover here, well probably not, but still.”
“You want a game where an NPC will give you a quest; you do that and then come back to them to progress the story.”
“There is no way for you to interact with the NPC to give them the quest item or toggle that you have done the quest.”
“Well, well, well, looks like I got a long story to cover here; well, probably not, but still.”

The gameplay is seen as a decent introduction to level design concepts, but it falls short of expectations due to a lack of polish and limited mechanics, primarily offering only elements from Mega Man. As a result, it is not recommended for those looking for a comprehensive platformer creation experience.
“Good starter game builder for understanding concepts and mechanics of level design.”
“I bought this game motivated by the trailers and it didn't live up to my expectations at all; it needs a lot more polish, especially in the mechanics you are allowed to introduce to the game.”
“If a tool that advertises itself as a 'make your own game based on your favorite retro games' only offers gameplay elements from Mega Man and calls it a day, I just simply can't recommend it, not even as your first attempt at a platformer maker.”

The game currently suffers from significant bugs that hinder level creation, leading to a frustrating user experience. However, some users express optimism for future improvements, acknowledging that the game is still in development and may become more stable over time.
“It's very buggy; I had a lot of difficulty using it to make levels. I believe this game can be good, but it requires fixing. Don't take this as the biggest discouragement; if you're in the future, they may have fixed the bugs. It's just how I see it.”
“It's a little buggy, but that can be forgiven since it's still in development.”

The graphics in the game are customizable through various packs, allowing players to create a unique experience. However, some users note that the graphics quality is not the best, as it is not the primary focus of the software.
“The ability to add different graphics packs, whether by creating your own or downloading more from the workshop, ensures that you can make your game truly unique.”
“The visuals are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the game world to life.”
“The graphics are incredibly immersive, making every environment feel rich and engaging.”
“This software is certainly worth the money, but just to warn you that the graphics aren't the best as they aren't supposed to be.”
