The gameplay is characterized by repetitive mechanics and basic endless runner elements, with collectible coins and a lightning attack that often suffers from bugs and inconsistencies. Players find the experience monotonous, with many expressing frustration over lag and hitbox issues, leading to a lack of depth and enjoyment. While there are achievements to earn, the overall quality and engagement of the gameplay are deemed low, making it feel more like an achievement farm than a compelling game.
- “An achievement farm with some modestly difficult gameplay and simple graphics that look like they've been taken from a stock photo site.”
- “There are several achievements you can get within the span of 30-60 minutes...meaning there's that much gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is fairly good for a cheap game, except for the fact that the double jump randomly decides not to work, which generally gets you killed.”
- “The endless runner mechanics are basic and quickly become monotonous, offering little more than a series of random obstacles to jump over.”
- “Sometimes it doesn't trigger at all or fails to kill monsters, which can be frustrating, especially when it's a key part of gameplay.”
- “There is no real gameplay experience to be had here, you mostly die due to the lag spikes or the lightning hitting the wrong enemy.”

- “Good soundtrack :)”
- “The music is rather generic, as well as the background; which, it's worth noting, is composed of several layers, the last one being a Victorian London-esque background with cloudy skies, that gets covered by mountains and such (you can still see what I'd presume would be the top of Big Ben).”
- “I would like to know the songs list.”
