The gameplay is characterized by demanding precision in jumps from the outset, which can lead to frustration as players may find themselves stuck as early as the second level. Additionally, the minimalist mechanics and graphics contribute to a bare-bones experience that may not appeal to everyone.
“The gameplay is incredibly engaging, with a perfect balance of challenge and reward that keeps you coming back for more.”
“The controls are tight and responsive, making every jump and maneuver feel satisfying and rewarding.”
“Now this game asks for such precise jumps from so early on that, no joke, you'll probably get stuck already in the second level (as the first level is only there to show you the mechanics of the game).”
“- Very bare-bones minimalist mechanics and graphics.”

Users report significant stability issues, including character clipping through obstacles and freezing during gameplay. Additionally, the repetitive blood drip animation upon failing jumps is perceived as a lack of polish and effort in the game's design.
“Your character clips inside obstacles, freezes, and a blood drip animation plays out whenever you fail a jump, which feels lazy and incompetent.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing hours of gameplay.”
“I experienced constant frame drops and stuttering, which ruined the overall experience and made it hard to enjoy the game.”
