Cute pixel-art graphics and relaxing music create a charming atmosphere.
Simple and intuitive controls make it accessible for beginners and enjoyable for casual play.
Short gameplay duration of around 15-30 minutes is perfect for a quick, stress-free experience.

The game is very short with only two levels, leading to a lack of depth and replayability.
Controls can feel awkward, especially with the sprint function requiring constant key pressing.
There are no checkpoints, which can be frustrating if you die and have to restart from the beginning.
