The gameplay is characterized by its platforming mechanics, which include arithmetic elements, though some players question the originality of these features. While the controls are generally acceptable, there is a desire for improved support, such as controller compatibility. Additionally, the game features varying mechanics, including character management, that may not be consistently engaging.
- “The issues I have aren't with the gameplay, the controls (although I hope the dev adds controller support at some point), or anything like that.”
- “The only notable thing about this platformer ripoff is that it features some arithmetic as part of the gameplay, but I wouldn't be surprised if the developer stole that from someone else, too.”
- “Mechanics like having to divide or control multiple characters came and went.”

- “There are, of course, no storylines, but the intro of the game is brilliant.”
