Gameplay is initially enjoyable and visually appealing, but it suffers from significant bugs and poor design choices that detract from the experience. While some players appreciate the speedrunning aspect and the discovery of subtle mechanics, others criticize the imprecise physics and lack of meaningful mechanics, leading to a generally lackluster core gameplay experience.
“The main point for me is the gameplay; it's just fun.”
“What this game does offer is an incredible speedrun experience, and the more you play, the more subtle mechanics you will find.”
“There's a strafe mechanic introduced that just barely matters at all; it's never required in any level and only needed for a total of two upgrades.”
“The game looks cool and plays well at the beginning, then it quickly gets ruined by bugs and bad gameplay design, unfortunately.”
“The game physics and mechanics are not as precise as the game requires you to be.”
“But the core gameplay is lackluster.”
