Gameplay is criticized for its lackluster platforming mechanics and frustrating input issues, which detract from the overall experience. The introduction of the "zombie mode" late in the game exacerbates existing level design flaws, leading to tedious gameplay that often requires prolonged waiting periods to progress. While new mechanics are introduced throughout the levels, they fail to enhance enjoyment and quickly become repetitive.
- “In each level, a new game mechanic is introduced, for example: trampolines, fans that push you around, poisons, and much more.”
- “The mechanic wears thin pretty quickly and although it's playable, your jump inputs are likely to get eaten quite a bit.”
- “The zombie mechanic often forces you to wait for long stretches of time before you can complete the next step of a puzzle.”
- “This zombie mechanic is especially annoying on the last level of the main game, which is extremely tedious (rather than complex).”
