There are issues with enemy AI and level design, including unfair instant death traps and enemies that respawn or behave oddly.
The audio and visual presentation is seen as amateurish and not fitting the intended retro vibe, with repetitive music and unpolished graphics.

- “The music in the game is not that great; it sounds like MIDI music.”
- “For a game that's supposed to be an homage to retro classics, the music doesn't fit at all.”

The gameplay combines classic elements from old-school titles like Shinobi, Legend of Kage, and Super Mario, showing promise overall, though character movement feels stiff and the audio appears to be a placeholder.
