    • “The levels are well designed, with new gameplay mechanics added frequently. It sounds nice, looks cute, and you can even unlock costumes.”
    • “The power-ups are extremely unique and add a lot of magic to the gameplay. Since levels are built around power-ups, it makes you excited to see either a beehive or a pair of wings at the start of the level, knowing you're going to have a blast playing through it.”

  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding mechanics in the game enjoyable, particularly in the auto-scrolling levels that feature engaging visuals and music. However, some users feel that the design choices, such as hiding essential functions in the pause menu, detract from the overall experience. Despite the grindy nature of the final bonus challenge, it is still considered rewarding once players master the required techniques.

    • “I get that the game encourages you to respawn as fast as possible to head back into the grinding, but certain basic elements like a button to go to the world map or to change the settings were hidden behind the pause menu instead, which felt somewhat counterproductive.”
    • “Even the final bonus challenge level, while fairly grindy, feels fantastic to play through once you figure out the timing and glitch required to finish.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is marred by significant bugs, particularly with achievements that fail to trigger correctly, often requiring players to replay levels to unlock them. This issue has been noted multiple times, indicating a consistent problem affecting the overall experience.

    • “Achievements are extremely buggy (e.g., half collectibles don't trigger until you get all of them), so I had to replay some levels.”
    • “Achievements are extremely buggy (e.g., half collectibles don't trigger until you get all of them), so I had to replay some levels.”
