The graphics in this game construction set are primarily retro pixel art, reminiscent of 80s and 90s consoles, which some users find charming while others criticize as outdated and of low quality. There are no options to customize resolution or graphics settings, limiting visual improvement, but the ability to change art styles easily adds a unique touch to level design. Overall, while the graphics may not meet contemporary standards, they offer nostalgic value and replayability for fans of retro aesthetics.
- “This, together with the different graphics packs (you can add your own or download more from the workshop), ensures that you can make your game unique.”
- “And one of the best options is being able to create a level and change the art style and era filter at the click of a button without changing the level itself.”
- “All the different options for designing custom levels combined with graphic modes based on retro consoles and computers of the 80's/90's give it lots of replay value too.”
- “This is only capable of constructing platformers, decades-old retro pixel art being used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget or talent to facilitate graphics from this century; regardless, the overall visual quality of the games produced by this is extremely low as a result of this design decision.”
- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings for any of the games this creates.”

The gameplay is seen as a decent introduction to game design concepts, but it falls short of expectations due to a lack of polish and limited mechanics, primarily drawing from only a few retro influences like Mega Man. Many users feel that it does not compare favorably to classic platformers and recommend caution for those looking for a robust game-making experience.
- “Good starter game builder for understanding concepts and mechanics of level design.”
- “So even if the mechanics and controls are less than stellar, there is always the fact that you are not bound to a specific set of game rules.”
- “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.”
- “Nor is the gameplay or the mechanics comparable to some of the most beloved classics.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of interactivity and clunky quest mechanics, where players cannot effectively communicate with NPCs to progress. Additionally, technical issues arise when played on high-end PCs, leading to unstable performance and fast sprite animations, detracting from the overall 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 game currently suffers from significant bugs that hinder level creation, leading to a frustrating user experience. However, some reviewers express optimism for future improvements, acknowledging that the game is still in development and that these issues may be resolved 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 game offers high replayability due to its extensive options for designing custom levels and the inclusion of various graphic modes inspired by retro consoles and computers from the 80s and 90s.
- “The various options for designing custom levels, along with graphic modes inspired by retro consoles and computers from the 80s and 90s, provide a tremendous amount of replay value.”
- “Each playthrough feels unique due to the diverse choices available, ensuring that I can always find something new to explore.”
- “The game encourages experimentation with its multiple paths and endings, making me want to replay it time and again.”
- “The game lacks meaningful choices that would encourage me to replay it.”
- “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to go back and play again.”
- “The limited variety in gameplay mechanics makes replaying feel more like a chore than a fun experience.”
