The gameplay is centered around a simplistic level-swapping mechanic aimed at collecting items, but it lacks depth and variety, leading to repetitive and shallow experiences. Players often find the controls frustrating, compounded by large enemy hitboxes and one-hit deaths, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.
“The game features a unique mechanic of swapping portions of the level around to collect various items, which adds an interesting twist to the gameplay.”
“The swap mechanic is essential for reaching otherwise inaccessible areas, creating a dynamic interaction between level navigation and platforming.”
“While the game doesn't delve deeply into its mechanics, it offers engaging challenges that require managing the swap mechanic alongside platforming elements.”
“The gameplay becomes annoying when, in addition to sloppy controls, you also have to deal with enemies' large hitboxes and dying in one hit.”
“There's little exploration of the mechanics, since the deepest it gets is toggle blocks, moving platforms, and moving threats.”
“This forces you to use the swap mechanic to reach every otherwise inaccessible area with fruit in it, but the game's level design never requires any amount of deep thought, and difficulty only really ever comes about from being required to manage swapping landmasses and platforming over enemies at the same time.”

The graphics of the game have been criticized for their low quality and lack of customization options, including the inability to change resolution or adjust settings. This has led to disappointment among PC gamers, who expect a higher standard of visual fidelity. Overall, the graphics are seen as subpar and not reflective of the capabilities of the platform.
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The monetization of the game has been criticized as an unethical cash grab, with users noting that it is available for free on the web, making its presence on Steam feel exploitative.
