The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising its charming art style and vibrant visuals that enhance the overall experience. While some players appreciate the unique backgrounds and nostalgic pixel art, others criticize the reliance on outdated 8-bit aesthetics and technical issues that detract from the visual appeal. Overall, the game's visuals are often highlighted as a standout feature, despite some concerns about gameplay and design choices.
- “Between its cool art style and excellent level variety, I was always excited to see what would happen next with a lot of 'wow, that was awesome' moments.”
- “A fun old-style platformer with wonderful visuals and soundtrack that really capture the dreamlike feel the dev was going for.”
- “For a game with only 256 different shades of colors to work with, this game manages to bring colorful visuals with unique background design for every chapter.”
- “While graphics are beautiful, it doesn't save it from its: bullshit difficulty spikes, unavoidable deaths, sword being lackluster, shitty stage designs, no save feature and lives end up not mattering at all.”
- “They decided to use an arcade emulator for the game without permitting widescreen or even 4:3 graphics - so if you own a PC, this game will look terrible on it, and not just because of the terrible 8-bit style.”
- “Artwork - none - they opted for a slightly Japanese looking 8-bit motif - it's old, tired, done, and dead but here they are rehashing it again as if it's somehow still cool and hipster to be retro.”

The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its cyberpunk themes and intriguing concepts, while others find it shallow and poorly executed, marred by rough dialogue and grammar issues. Despite these flaws, many agree that the narrative adds charm and depth to the platforming experience, making it worth exploring for its unique take on dreams and consciousness. Overall, while the story may not be groundbreaking, it provides an engaging backdrop that enhances the gameplay.
- “This game is a very nice platformer and the story reminds me of a cyberpunk novel.”
- “An amusing though melancholic short story about dreams and consciousness presented as a platformer whose levels are little positioning and timing puzzles.”
- “Just going by the screenshots, the selective memory erase effect may seem like a fairly unimpressive retro throwback, but in all actuality it's a solid little platformer with a cyberspace-tinged storyline that really goes places and enough variety and charm to make it well worth recommending.”
- “When the story of the game (which is mediocre by the way) is the only reason to even touch this turd of a game, my recommendation rate:”
- “There is no real outright 'story'.”
- “The plot itself is pretty shallow and leaves a lot to be desired.”
