The gameplay is characterized by repetitive mechanics and basic endless runner elements, with collectible coins and a lightning attack that often fails to function properly. Players report frustration due to bugs, lag spikes, and a lack of depth, leading to a monotonous experience that feels more like an achievement farm than a compelling game. Overall, while there are some interesting mechanics, the execution is marred by glitches and a lack of engaging content.
- “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.”

- “The procedural generated levels felt good and the music was a good addition as well.”
- “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.”
