The gameplay is highly praised for its fluid controls, satisfying mechanics, and engaging level design, making it a standout 3D platformer that appeals to speedrunning enthusiasts. Players appreciate the nuanced understanding of mechanics that evolve throughout the game, alongside a strong community aspect. While some minor issues with mechanics have been noted, the overall experience is described as fun, fast-paced, and rewarding, with a high skill ceiling that still allows for enjoyment by less experienced players.
- “The gameplay is smooth and satisfying, with tight controls that make it easy to pick up but hard to put down.”
- “Incredible fast and satisfying gameplay.”
- “Fluid controls, fun and interesting level design, and the fun speed boost mechanic (similar to b-hopping) makes this game a 10/10 in my book.”
- “It doesn't feel designed for multiplayer though; it feels more like a Sonic course in a Mario wrapper with some light Breath of the Wild climbing mechanics.”
- “In the current build of the game, I find some mechanics to be just a little slippery; the game currently makes you wall-run just a little bit too easily if you are in the air.”
- “- In its current state (2nd of December 2018), it is possible to start levels with slight advantages by walking around the map (exploration mechanic), then, say, move some things around, then start the level for a slight advantage.”
