The gameplay is characterized by engaging movement mechanics, including wall running, dashing, and grappling, which encourage creative level navigation. However, some players find the rocket jumping mechanic frustrating and less effective compared to other games. Overall, the gameplay is described as fun and interesting, despite mixed feelings about certain mechanics.
“The movement mechanics are great, having the ability to wall run, dash, or grapple allows you to be creative in how you solve the levels to get the best time.”
“The game mechanics are fun and interesting.”
“The bullet time mechanic is distinct.”
“I could not rocket jump at all; I actually hated the whole mechanic of rocket jumping in this game. I'm used to shooting the rocket at my feet once and getting a ton of height in other games. In this, it feels like I barely go up and have to use multiple rockets to get any height at all.”
“I think this mechanic is a bit excessive.”
