The gameplay is praised for its variety, featuring diverse mechanics, game modes, and enemies that cater to both casual players and those seeking a retro experience. However, the swimming mechanic is criticized for being clunky, limiting movement and adding frustration. Overall, the game successfully blends different elements while maintaining an accessible difficulty level.
“I like that they mixed the gameplay up from time to time too.”
“Something about the sounds, graphics, and gameplay just really scratched that retro itch.”
“There's plenty of variety in here too, from different gameplay mechanics, to new game modes, to new enemies to figure out.”
“My only slight complaint is the swimming mechanic is awfully clunky; you can't swim down but you can swim up, so you have to watch for sharp objects above because if you swim up there, you will inevitably die.”
“Friendly to casuals as you can die as much as you want, and the gameplay isn't difficult.”
“I love stiff platform games with sword-fighting mechanics.”

The music in the game features chiptune tracks that complement the hack and slash platforming experience, but many players find the soundtrack to be unremarkable and merely background noise. While the level theming adds some flavor, the overall musical progression feels predictable and lacks impact.
“If you like hack and slash platforming with chiptune music, then this game is for you.”
“The level theming was nice, and it gave it some needed flavor, but the game itself progresses along a very predictable route, with a soundtrack that's just 'there' in the background.”
