The gameplay is widely criticized for being janky, unsatisfying, and lacking polish, with poor handling and responsiveness that detracts from the overall experience. Players report repetitive mechanics and frustrating bugs, making the platforming feel basic and tedious. While some appreciate the game's challenging aspects and potential for interesting mechanics, the overwhelming sentiment is that it requires significant improvements to be enjoyable.
“Certainly get a game for your money as this one isn't a quick playthrough but a challenging platformer with interesting mechanics and steep learning curves at times.”
“It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness, and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
“Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing or polish done.”
“Furthermore, the main mechanic of the game is jumping and even that is terrible (gamepad is even worse), even the hitboxes are messed up.”

Overall, it contributes positively to the game's charm and humor, but its repetitiveness can detract from the experience for some users.

“Music is ace, graphics are endearing, and there's a great sense of humour throughout.”
“I think the art is well done, and the music is great!”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“First, the music gave me brain cancer; then the gameplay fast-forwarded it to stage 3.”
“If we must find a flaw, maybe the music is a bit too catchy.”
