The gameplay is characterized as a standard runner-platformer experience, featuring simple mechanics such as dodging obstacles and collecting coins, but it quickly becomes repetitive and lacks depth. While some players find enjoyment in the challenge of the levels, others criticize the gameplay for being uninteresting and overly simplistic, with a typical duration of around two hours. There are indications of potential future updates to diversify gameplay styles, but currently, it remains a straightforward and somewhat monotonous experience.
- “As a runner, the gameplay is as simple as dodging obstacles and enemies (or killing them) while collecting coins and trying to get to the end of each level.”
- “The gameplay is very typical of the runner-platformer style.”
- “Gameplay in each of the levels that I have played thus far has been quite challenging but also enjoyable.”
- “The game isn't that long; you are looking at about two hours of gameplay here. If you are a fan of runners, then you will enjoy this game, but unfortunately, it does get quite repetitive very fast.”
- “The gameplay is standard runner fare, save for some inexplicable high-precision jumps out of nowhere, coupled with blind falls and no ledge-grab.”
- “The game becomes boring really fast since the game mechanics are not really interesting.”

- “Either way, the story was quite bland and dull.”
- “There is really no story.”
- “Nope, it's a classical 'save your girlfriend' game with no storytelling.”

The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as poor quality and reminiscent of blocky, low-resolution styles similar to Minecraft, but lacking its charm.

- “The level design was effective, the graphics were nice, and even the basic audio tracks were pleasant.”
- “[b] Aesthetic or thematically, as spaghetti western [/b]”
- “The gameplay has random, unexpected periods of FPS drops too, despite it being a low-quality game with blocky graphics.”
- “The graphics are of very poor quality, as if the developer tried to do something simple like Minecraft, wanted it to look bad like Minecraft, but not bad in the same way.”
- “Bad visuals”
